Former US Senator Mike Gravel said in an interview with Sputnik that the international coalition proposed by the Russian Federation would be able to destroy the Islamic State terrorist group.

According to Gravel, the presidents of the Russian Federation and the United States, Vladimir Putin and Barack Obama, need to consider the possibility of cooperation in the fight against IS.

During the meeting of the UN General Assembly, Vladimir Putin put forward the idea of creating an international anti-terrorist coalition to fight ISIS, the key participants of which will be Muslim countries.
