According to The New York Times, citing the US military, "thousands of Kurdish soldiers and commanders" from the "Syrian Democratic Forces" (SDF) are increasingly refusing to fight terrorists (in particular, the Islamic State banned in Russia) .
Sources said that Arab and American forces were forced to stop operations to clean up Syrian territories from militants and took defensive positions, which could enable militants to flee to other countries.
Victory campaign over the IG is under threat
