Russian Deputy Defense Minister Alexandr Fomin said this in an interview with the "International Commentary" program on the "Russia 24" TV channel.
"We cannot help but worry about the safe zone with a diameter of 55 kilometers near the village of Al-Tanf. This area is located on the border with Iraq in the western part of Syria, and in fact it has become a haven for terrorists. Here the militants are rearmed, preparing to carry out attacks from this place. All this is under the command of special forces and other US units," - Fomin said.
In addition, according to the Deputy Minister, the US does not allow humanitarian convoys to reach the Rukban refugee camp of Syrians near Al-Tanf, resulting in a dire humanitarian situation there.
