Irony from a Vice News interview |
[Note: Two narratives were
published in the Russian media; it is likely that the US is trying to
distance itself from cooperation in public, but behind closed doors
other things are being said.]
The
US will not conduct a joint operation with Russia in the operation
against ISIS, a terrorist organization prohibited in Russia. Washington
said that the US military will conduct limited tactical negotiations
with Russia.
"These
discussions focused on the issue of blacklisted airstrike areas to
avoid incidents. We do not plan to do any joint operations, - quotes
Interfax from a source in the presidential administration of the US.
The
White house stressed that they welcome Russia's efforts in combating
terrorists and maintaining the ceasefire. However, in Syria, Washington
chose other companions.
"In Syria, we remain focused on equipping and mobilizing local forces who are motivated to fight ISIS," said the White house.
As
a reminder, on March 27th, Syrian government troops, supported by
militias and the Russian Airforce, completely liberated Palmyra.
