MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russia said on Friday it
had intensified air strikes against oil sites controlled by an al Qaeda
affiliate in Syria, but criticized the United States for refusing to
join in.
Last Friday Russia proposed to the United States and its
allies that they stage joint air strikes on Syrian rebels, including the
militant Islamist Nusra Front, who are not observing a ceasefire, but
Washington made clear it had little interest in the idea.
“The response received from the United States … does not
envisage joint actions against terrorist organizations, which leads to
further escalation of the conflict,” Sergei Rudskoy, head of the General
Staff’s main operations command, told a news briefing.
Meanwhile, the Nusra Front has partially restored its
fighting efficiency, replenished stocks of weapons and ammunition and
begun active military actions, Rudskoy said.
