Lavrov: Anti-ISIL Coalition Not Ready to Cooperate With Russia


Russia is ready to coordinate ant-terrorism actions with the West and Arab countries, but the US-led anti-Islamic State coalition is not ready yet, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Monday.

Lavrov"We believe that in talks with our US and Persian Gulf colleagues we feel more understanding of the threat and understanding of the need to fight," Lavrov told a press conference.

"We are interested in establishing coordination between the coalition, led by the United States and the countries of the Arab world, including the countries of the Persian Gulf, and our military, so that it’s not only establishing rules to avoid incidents, but so that we could coordinate joint actions. Our colleagues from the coalition are not ready for this yet," Lavrov said.

The Russian Aerospace Forces have carried out about 300 strikes against terrorist positions, killing 300 militants and destroying command centers, training camps and ammunition depots since the Russian campaign against terrorists in Syria started. Russian warships in the Caspian Sea have fired 26 cruise missiles on ISIL targets.
