Bomb-Dura

Russia continues to bomb detachments that operate in Syria against the Islamic State with the support of the United States. This was stated by the head of the Pentagon Astton Carter, reports CNN.

The minister suggested that Russia consciously ignores American requests, or it has serious intelligence problems. “If this was their intention, then this directly contradicts the fact that they, according to them, were going to do,” Carter said. “If not, then this says something about the quality of the information on the basis of which they strike.”

The incident occurred several days ago. The Russian Su-24, which took off from the base in Latakia, struck the positions of the militias six miles from the border of Jordan and Syria. According to the sources in the Pentagon, after a series of two strokes, the United States sent FA-18 fighters to this area. American pilots tried to contact Russian through a previously agreed communication channel between pilots, but did not receive an answer.

After the FA-18 left this area for refueling, Russian planes returned for another series of blows.

On Friday, the presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the operation in Syria is complicated by the “very significant” spike of the moderate opposition and “Jebhat al-Nusra”, recognized in Russia as a terrorist organization, which continued in a number of areas. "The operation of our VKS continues in Syria. And the fact that the mixing and spike that lasts the so -called moderate opposition and" An -Nusra "remains a very significant problem is no secret to anyone," Peskov said.

On Wednesday, US Secretary of State John Kerry accused the Syrian authorities of continuing the attack on Aleppo, despite the decrease in the intensity of hostilities throughout Syria. Russia should understand that the US patience is not endlessly, Kerry added, speaking of the support that Moscow provides Damascus.

Soon after, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that Aleppo introduced a "silence regime" for a period of 48 hours.

On Thursday, more than 50 employees of the US State Department turned to Barack Obama with a letter in which they disagreed with the position of the White House in Syria . The document calls for targeted military attacks on the positions of the Syrian government. “The change of regime is the only way to defeat the Islamic State,” the authors of the letter say.

They substantiate their recommendation by the fact that Syria authorities violate the ceasefire operating in some areas of the country. "The inability to stop the egregious abuses of Assad will only strengthen the ideological attractiveness of such groups as IG, despite the fact that they suffer tactical failures on the battlefield," the document says.

The State Department confirmed the receipt of the letter, but refused to comment on its content. According to the official representative of the department John Kirby, the regulatory acts of the State Department directly prohibit response measures against any employee who will express his disagreement using a special channel.
