At the same time, the Ministry of Defense refutes the fake stuffings of the so-called “human rights observatory” and other similar organizations involved in the preparation of disinformation and propaganda slogans. It is noted that after the terrorist attacks over Sinai, in Paris and Mali, propagandists have become less active, but their publications are still slipping.
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation adds:
(...) The speeches of some seemingly military professionals, such as the official representative of the central command of the US Army, who said that “the majority of Russian air strikes are aimed at a moderate Syrian opposition,” do not change in spite of everything.
And they are made, as always, unfounded, without any specifics and facts, with reference to impersonal sources. And the more precisely the Russian aircraft hit the terrorists, the more persistently our colleagues try to convince the foreign public that there may not be all bad ones among the terrorists. Perhaps because of the ocean, everything is refracted. But in real life, terrorism is not known to have comparative degrees or nationality. Terrorism is an unconditional evil that must be dealt with in all its manifestations.
