MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 18th October, 2018) Members of the Islamic State terror group (IS, banned in Russia) are feeling fine in the zone set up by the United States near the Syrian area of At Tanf, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.
"We do not know what is going on in other regions of Syria. Particularly, the US forces have settled for a long period on the eastern bank of the Euphrates river. They have unilaterally set up a zone with a radius of 55 kilometers [34 miles] in the area of At Tanf, inside which the Rukban refugee camp is located. There is no access to this area that is why nobody can guarantee that this camp can be assessed safely without being attacked by bandits who are feeling very well in this US zone, including the IS members," Lavrov said in an interview with RT, Paris Match and Le Figaro.
