"The British raids in Syria against the Islamic State are illegal and destined to fail. The Islamic State cannot be defeated from the air without coordination on the ground. The only air force that works closely with land forces is the Russian one. Thanks to Moscow we have taken up huge portions of land that we have taken from the terrorists.
I would also like to mention the umpteenth chapter of David Cameron's farce. For the latter in Syria there would be 70 thousand moderates. Where am I? Where are these troops? It's a farce for you Westerners. Where are these moderate groups? British bombing is illegal and will have the sole purpose of supporting terrorism.
What were the results of the US-led Coalition raids that began in September last year? We are fighting cancer, this is what the West does not understand. Those that you call opposition groups or moderate rebels, are an affiliate branch of terrorists. They have always supported them and they continue to arm them ”.
This was stated by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in an interview published in the Sunday Times.
