The US defenses secretary has accused Russia of escalating what he called the civil war in Syria by conducting airstrikes in the Arab country. Ashton Carter said Russia is pursuing a losing strategy that will worsen the Syria conflict. Carter claimed Russia is hitting positions of Syria’s opposition groups rather than those of ISIL terrorists. He said Russia is quote-tethering itself to a sinking ship, in an apparent reference to the Syrian government. German Foreign Ministry has also expressed doubts that Russia is targeting Daesh Takfiri terrorists in Syria. Moscow rejects those claims, saying it is ready to talk to Washington on the location of so-called moderate opposition in Syria.
