MOSCOW. Jan 10 (Interfax-AVN) - The Russian Aerospace Forces have accomplished the task set by the Russian president in Syria, while the U.S.-led international coalition has not just shown a zero result but a negative one, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said.
"Last year we accomplished the main task that the Supreme Commander-in-Chief gave us. However hard and difficult it was, however badly we needed support from the international coalition that, in my view, has not just achieved zero but gone into the negative territory," Shoigu said during a meeting with Defense Ministry senior officials on Tuesday.
