The U.S. has not allocated any funds to support civilians in Syria affected by the war, Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said in an interview released on Wednesday.
“Affirming its ‘noble’ objectives and ‘good’ will, the U.S. has not allocated a cent to provide real assistance
to Syrian civilians devastated by long years of war,” Shoigu told Italy’s Il Giornale newspaper.
According to the minister, dozens of civilians continue to be killed by munition and mortars left in liberated
Raqqa after massive bombings by the U.S.-led international coalition.
He said that Iran and Turkey were playing key roles in stabilisation of the situation in Syria.
“Iran, along with Turkey, has historically been one of the main actors in the region and plays a key role in
stabilisation of the situation in the Syrian Arab Republic,” Shoigu said. (Sputnik/NAN)
