Saudi Arabia requires Russia to stop air strikes for objects in Syria. As Reuters reports , Al-Arabia, the country's Permanent Representative to the UN Abdullah al-Muallimi stated this on the air of the channel. The diplomat added that in the territories undergoing bombing, there are no Mujahideen of the Islamic State ( chronicle of the first day of the operation ).

The Saudi Permanent Representative spoke about the same from the UN rostrum on Wednesday. He emphasized that Russian attacks in Homs and Hama brought to many innocent sacrifices. "As for the countries that recently stated to join the struggle against IS terrorism, they cannot do this and at the same time support the terrorism of the Syrian regime," the diplomat also noted.

The day before, US Secretary of State John Kerry said that due to the support of the Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, the Kremlin can ruin relations with Muslims-Sunnis in the Middle Eastern region, after which Russia will become a target for radical Islamists. “If he (Vladimir Putin. - Ed.) Is going to side with Assad with Iran and Hezbollah, he will have very serious problems with the Sunni countries of the region,” said the diplomat. “This means that he ... can very soon become a target for the Sunni jihadists.”

Nevertheless, on Wednesday, Russia joined the Syrian war. The declared goal of Putin is the struggle against the Islamic State. Meanwhile, it has been repeatedly noted that in fact, Russia is applying air strikes not of Islamists, but a moderate opposition, which is supported by the West and confronts both the IG and the Assad regime. From this it was concluded that the actual task of Moscow in Syria is the defeat of Assad’s opponents.

The number of victims in just a few hours of Russian bombing was several dozen people . As noted, these are civilians, including women and children.
