Russia to Strike Terrorists in Syria Claiming to Be Moderate Opposition

Head of the Russian Federation Council's defense committee Viktor Ozerov said that Russia cannot overlook the Syrian groups that break ceasefire regime.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Russia will strike terrorist groups breaching the Syria ceasefire even if they claim to belong to the moderate opposition, head of the Russian Federation Council's defense committee Viktor Ozerov said Monday.

"If terrorists disguise themselves as moderate opposition and declare that they have joined the ceasefire regime, while only doing so in order to achieve favorable conditions for new attacks, of course, Russia cannot overlook this," Ozerov told RIA Novosti.
