Putin: Beware, so that Washington does not turn into a caliphate
The Russian President also added that Russia will not silently observe the strengthening of the ISIL group (organization banned in Russia).
“We cannot allow their further strengthening. They want to create a caliphate from the Southern Europe to Central Asia”, the Russian President added, pointing out that at least 80,000 militants are fighting in the ranks of ISIL group, with at least 30,000 mercenaries from 80 countries, including Russia.
Russia has been actively combating terrorism in Syria for more than two years, contributing to the liberation of country’s key areas such as Aleppo and Palmyra.
