Kremlin unaware of new European sanctions against Russian Federation

Russian Federation has agreed to resume talks with the U.S. to ensure safety of aircrafts during their separate bombing campaign in Syria against the Islamic State, the Pentagon has said.

Russian Federation has also launched cruise missiles against targets in Syria from warships in the Caspian Sea, about 1,500km (930 miles) away.

The move comes just days after Turkey complained that Russian fighter jets, recently deployed in Syria to support the government of Bashar al-Assad, repeatedly violated its airspace.

Russian Federation has suffered attacks by Islamist militants before, including suicide bombings in Moscow five years ago which killed dozens of people, and more now might turn public opinion against the military intervention in Syria.

Press secretary Peter Cook said the Russia-US talks are “likely to take place as soon as this weekend”.

Defense officials from the United States and Russian Federation held a 90-minute video conference call on Saturday to discuss safe flight operations over Syria, according to the Pentagon.

Cook told reporters traveling back from Europe with Defense Secretary Ash Carter that the Russians sent a formal reply and department officials are now reviewing it, but he provided no details.

Six world powers – the US, Germany, France, U.K., Russian Federation and China – and Iran had reached a landmark deal in July to limit Iran’s nuclear ability for more than a decade, in return for the lifting of worldwide energy and financial sanctions. The US had been waiting since then for a response.

“If so, that would indicate malfunctions of those missiles”, Carter said.

“Russia’s actions in Syria are meant to contribute to preserving the territorial and political integrity of the Syrian Arab Republic, thereby contributing to the stability and security in the region, which, in turn, borders the Republic of Turkey”.

Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a “proxy war” against the United State when Russian jets bombed CIA-trained rebels in Syria, and the US military should have been ordered to retaliate, former U.S. Army vice chief of staff General Jack Keane said Thursday.

The new aim is to “work with groups on the ground who are already fighting ISIL and provide them a few equipment to make them more effective, in combination with our airstrikes”, Wormuth said.

But Moscow has dismissed claims that its week of strikes has mainly hit non-IS targets.
