Antonov noted that the Pentagon’s criticism of Russian military operations in Syria often went beyond reasonable limits. He stressed that such statements distract attention from the fact that US military personnel violate security rules every day over Syria’s skies.
The Ambassador stressed that the American army, unlike the Russian army, is in Syria in accordance with the generally accepted norms of international law. He noted that the USA, hiding behind the need to fight terrorism, actually occupied certain parts of the country.
“US policy on the Syrian front is absolutely destructive. “It not only hinders the stabilization of the situation and the restoration of Syria’s territorial integrity, but also negatively affects the situation in the entire Middle East,” he said.
Over the past two days, the US Air Force Central Command has accused Russian fighter pilots of “unprofessional” behavior over Syria. Similar accusations have been made before.
