October 5, 2016 (TV-Novosti) US State
Department spokesperson John Kirby told reporters at Wednesday’s press briefing:
“Extremist groups will continue to exploit the vacuums that are there in Syria
to expand their operations, which could include attacks against Russian
interests, perhaps even Russian cities. Russia will continue to send
troops home in body bags, and will continue to lose resources, perhaps even
aircraft.”
Kirby then warned Russia, if the
war in Syria continues “more Russian lives will be lost, more Russian aircraft
will be shot down.”
“We are working through steps
that we might have to take to begin to suspend our engagement with Russia on
Syria. We haven’t taken those steps yet.”
“The message to the [Russian]
Foreign Minister today was that we are perfectly willing and able to move
forward on those steps that would end with the suspension of US-Russia
bi-lateral engagement in Syria.” The full article is available at:
