MOSCOW. Oct 7 (Interfax-AVN) - The destruction of the infrastructure of the terrorist group ISIL is taking place as part of the fight against international terrorism, not to obtain anyone's personal support, Russian Defense Ministry official Major-General Igor Konashenkov said.
"The Russian combat aviation in the Syrian Arab Republic is destroying the infrastructure of the terrorist group ISIL not for anyone's personal support, but for the purpose of fighting international terrorism," Konashenkov told reporters on Wednesday.
"We are not just saying, but we are also doing it in a specific and effective way," the general said, commenting on the statement by U.S. Permanent Representative to NATO Douglas Lute on the refusal to share with Russia U.S. intelligence data on the areas of locations of ISIL terrorists in Syria due to the alleged "Moscow support of the Assad regime."
