The Kremlin assessed the effectiveness of this operation as positive.

"We can state one thing. Bearing in mind that ISIL [Islamic State], Nusra [Front] are not sitting in Damascus, this is probably the main outcome, the positive outcome of the support our aviation provides to the legitimate armed forces of Syria," Peskov said.
