U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has expressed concern over reports of “an imminent Russian military buildup” in Syria in a September 5 telephone conversation with his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov.
“The secretary made clear that if such reports were accurate, these actions could further escalate the conflict, lead to greater loss of innocent life, increase refugee flows and risk confrontation with the anti-[Islamic State] coalition operating in Syria,” the State Department said in a press release.
Kerry and Lavrov agreed that discussions on the Syrian conflict will continue later this month in New York, where the UN General Assembly meets.
Western media reports suggest that Russia may have recently deployed military personnel and aircraft in Syria.
Ah ouais, tout s’explique ! l’augmentation des réfugiés, c’est la faute à Poutine : ils fuient la prochaine intervention russe !
En plus, s’il intervient (de façon irresponsable) en Syrie (contre l’État islamique, il faut imaginer, puisque Kerry ne le dit pas) il risque de provoquer une confrontation avec la coalition anti-état islamique.
