“What was it if not an act of aggression? It was also an act of assistance to those terrorists whom the United States is ostensibly fighting against.”
The Russian defense ministry says in a statement that after it dropped bombs nears US partner forces, starting Monday, “it will track all jets and drones of the US-led coalition west of the Euphrates and treat them as targets.”
The ministry also called on the US military to provide a full account of why it decided to shoot down the Syrian SU-22, AP reports.
