Russia critical of US plan to give air cover to Syrian rebels
by Joseph Earnest August 3, 2015
Newscast Media WASHINGTON—Russia Monday criticized U.S. plans to provide together with Turkey air cover for Syrian rebels, saying any support for rivals of Russian ally Syrian President Bashar Assad hampered Damascus' fight against ISIS.
Ankara and Washington are hoping that together with the Syrian rebels they would sweep ISIS fighters from a strip of land along the Turkish border.
"Moscow has stressed multiple times that helping Syrian opposition, let alone helping with financial or [military] technical means, would lead to a further destabilisation of the situation in the country," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
