The consequences of potential US ground operations in Syria would be unpredictable, the head of Russia?s parliamentary committee on foreign affairs told RT. He added that claims Russian airstrikes have targeted civilians are part of ongoing information war.
?If there ...[is] any evidence ...[it] should be presented and Russia is definitely open to making further investigations,? Chairman of the Russian Upper House committee for foreign affairs, Konstantin Kosachev told RT, while on a visit to Washington. ?But there is no evidence [that has been] presented by the military experts to the Russian military experts.?
Kosachev?s comments come after the Russian Ministry of Defense summoned the military attaches of NATO countries and Saudi Arabia, asking them to clarify their allegations that Russian airstrikes in Syria had hit civilian targets.
The head of the committee blamed mass media for ?deliberately circulating rumors? of Russian airstrikes killing civilian population in Syria. The same ?rumors,? Kosachev, said are being spread throughout social media.
?This is just an information war against Russia and nothing else,? he told RT.
