The Ministry of Defense was accused of the US military mission of Syria of creating a cover for militants' attacks

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation called the US military mission in Syria the main obstacle to completing the defeat of the Islamic State* in this country and indicated that the attack of militants to the posts of the Syrian army was launched from the environs of the city of ET-Tanf, which is under the control of the United States. These statements are published on the Pages of the Ministry of Defense on Twitter and Facebook .

"The terrorists are united by the fact that they were all carried out from the zone around the village of ET -Tanf, where the US military mission is located," the Ministry of Defense says in Twitter .

The Ministry of Defense report on Facebook specifies that IG fighters* attacked the security zone, where the Americans "on a cannon shot" do not allow Syrian troops.

“The main obstacle to the completion of the defeat of ISIS* in Syria is not the combat effectiveness of terrorists, but the support and flirting of the American colleagues with them. Apparently, the successes of the Syrian army with the support of the Russian VKS and the rapid liberation from ISIS* Euphrates Valley are contrary to the plans of American partners,” the Russian military department said.

An example of this in the Ministry of Defense was called the terrorists' attempt to conduct a coordinated time and a place attack at the end of last week in the rear of the Syrian troops.

"On the night of September 28, about 300 ISIS militants from the village of Rukban, on dozens of SUVs, advanced to the city of El-Karyatein in the province of Homs. Moreover, a large detachment of terrorists successfully circumvented all the hidden posts of the Syrian troops in the districts of Harbat al-Shkhami and n. And having in hand, completely accurate coordinates that can only be obtained thanks to air intelligence are the coordinates treated with specialists and then caring carefully to the militants for the implementation of sabotage and terrorist actions, ”the Ministry of Defense said.

With dawn, this detachment of terrorists tried to capture the ruling heights around BC. n. El-karyachin. At the same time, on the same day, the ISISTRES* held a series of coordinated attacks on other posts of the Syrian troops located along the strategically important Palmir-Deir Ez-Riza highway, along which the Syrian troops were supplied in the Euphrates Valley and humanitarian assistance is delivered, the military department noted.

All of the listed attacks were carried out from the 50-kilometer zone around the village of ET-Tanf on the Syrian-Iordan border. "The Syrian army had to make considerable efforts to neutralize the mobile groups of ISIS* on the Palmyra -Ez -Zor highway and free settlements captured by the militants," the report said.

“If the American side considers such operations as unforeseen“ accidents ”, then the Russian VKS in Syria are ready to begin to complete the destruction of all such“ accidents ”in the zone controlled by it,” the Ministry of Defense was threatened.

Recall that earlier in Russia the United States was accused of the death of Russian General Valery Asapov in Syria, which was torn at the front line during the mortar shelling of Deir Ez-Zor. The Ministry of Defense noted that a mortar hit on the command post of the Syrian army was struck by militants who knew exactly where the military adviser was located. The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Sergei Lavrov, claimed that the coalition led by the United States “gives” the terrorists in Syria, arranging dangerous provocations against the Russian military.

The province of Deir Ez-Zor, in which hostilities are underway, was mentioned in the message of the militants as a place of capture of the two Russian troops who fought at the Wagner PMC. There were no incidents related to the capture or loss of military personnel of the RF Armed Forces in the province of Deir Ez-Zor or in other areas of Syria to the Ministry of Defense: "the department said in a statement.

At the end of last week, Syrian government troops and allied forces repelled a powerful attack of militants on the Dair-Ez-Zor-Palmir, the main way of supplying the besieged city. The Islamists tried to cut off the track in the area of ​​the village of Ash Shul.

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation then reported on the scale of the battles - in 10 days more than 2.3 thousand extremists were killed, dozens of tanks and "jihad mobiles", one and a half hundred taces were bombed. It was claimed that among the killed there were 16 field commanders and 400 extremists - immigrants from Russia and the CIS countries.
