Russia says U.S led campaign against ISIL is a mistake
Russian FM Sergey Lavrov said the US-led campaign against ISIL is a mistake. He added that there was no new reset in relations with the U.S
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said there was no new reset in relations with the United States, but that both sides engaged in a pragmatic and realistic dialogue, RIA news agency reported on Tuesday.
Commenting on U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s recent visit to Russia, Lavrov said he would not characterise that as a new reset.
“I would call it a return to the previous normal level,” the agency cited Lavrov as saying in an interview with Bloomberg news agency.
Foreign Minister also added that the US-led campaign against ISIL in Iraq and Syria is a “bad mistake,”
Russia is not against the actions of the international coalition against ISIL, but bombardment of the armed group-controlled areas of Syria without the approval of Damascus authorities is a mistake, Lavrov said.
