Russia accused the United States of fuelling dangerous tension in the Middle East on Monday after Syria said that US helicopters had attacked a farm near the border with Iraq. "Moscow has responded with great concern to what happened," the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
"We believe attacks that are worthy of condemnation should not be launched on the territory of sovereign states under the slogan of the fight against terrorism." "It is obvious that such unilateral military actions have a sharply negative effect on the situation in the region, and widen the seat of dangerous armed tension."
