Moscow intended to learn about the strategy of withdrawing US troops from Syria, the spokeswoman for Russian MFA Maria Zakharova told reporters on Friday.

According to her, Moscow “would like to get acquainted with their official strategy.”

“The international community has the right to know what the United States intends to do in Syria and at its borders,” the diplomat said.

Zakharova noted that if Washington’s intentions to withdraw its troops from Syria are confirmed, this will be a step in a positive direction, since their presence there was illegal.

The US President Donald Trump announced the withdrawal of US troops from Syria.
