“Any actions, we don’t say now, which are trying to consolidate the illegal military presence of the United States, are in our opinion contrary to international law and unacceptable,” he told reporters, commenting on reports of the construction of new American bases in the oil region of Syria.
The words of the deputy minister are quoted by Interfax.
As Anadolu reported earlier, citing sources, the United States is building two new military bases in the oil region of Syria.
The media claimed that the United States sent between 250 and 300 soldiers, as well as armored vehicles, heavy weapons and ammunition, to the construction zone.
According to Pentagon chief Mark Esper, US troops will continue to defend oil fields and respond to any attempts by other parties to establish control over them.
This situation was commented on by the Russian Ministry of Defense. They said that US government agencies earn over $ 30 million each month from the production of contraband oil in Syria.
