It is worth noting that earlier this month, the Russian Defense Ministry announced that the Russian Air Force discovered and eliminated a group of terrorists from the terrorist group 'Shuhada' Brigade Al-Qaryatayn' during its air patrols in Syria. The terrorists, that were hiding in bunkers, were discovered in Al-Tanf, which is a US-controlled area in southern Syria.

"On August 4, 2022, during air patrols, the Russian Air Force crews spotted a group of militants of the terrorist "Liwa Shuhada' Al-Qaryatayn" group, who were hiding in equipped bunkers in the Playa desert, and eliminated them. This terrorist group is stationed In the Al-Tanf area, it is supplied and trained by trainers from the US Army’s Special Operations Forces," a ministry statement wrote. 

A few days ago, Minister of Defense, Gen. Ali Mahmoud Abbas called on the international community "to exert pressure to lift the unjust coercive measures imposed on Syria by the US and Western regimes.”

“We stress the necessity of ending the American and Turkish occupation of Syrian territories in order to extend the State’s control over them and to be able to invest in their resources that are subject to looting and theft,” Gen. Abbas said.

In July, Russian Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Dmitriy Polyanskiy stressed during a General Assembly meeting that the United States every day plunders Syrian hydrocarbons and grain in the territory not controlled by Damascus, which is occupied by pro-American militants in the northeast of the country.

The US forces have 24 military bases and 4 permanent deployment locations in the Syrian territories, most of which are stationed in the eastern Euphrates and the Syrian desert.
