Russia Concerned About Situation East of Euphrates in Syria - Foreign Ministry

The situation on the eastern bank of the Euphrates River, where the American forces are operating, is becoming more and more alarming, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Wednesday.

KOKTEBEL (Crimea) (Pakistan Point news / Sputnik - 10th October, 2018) The situation on the eastern bank of the Euphrates River, where the American forces are operating, is becoming more and more alarming, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Wednesday.

"Unfortunately, the situation on the eastern bank of Euphrates is becoming more and more alarming. The Americans are de-facto running the show in this area, relying on their Kurdish allies," Zakharova said at a weekly briefing.

"The efforts they are making to set up some sort of a separate administration there violate the current Syria constitution - and all this is not a positive sign. We can see it from the developments on the ground," the spokeswoman added.
