Russian airstrikes ‘HELPING ISIS’ says Philip Hammond in scathing attack on Vladimir Putin
THE Foreign Secretary has launched a scathing attack on Vladimir Putin, claiming Russia's airstrikes in Syria are helping Islamic State.
Hammond said: “It's a source of constant grief to me that everything we are doing is being undermined by the Russians.
Russian jets launched began airstrikes in September and is said to have carried out 468 strikes in Syria during the past week, hitting more than 1,300 “terrorist” targets.
He said: "Their intervention is strengthening Daesh on the ground - doing the very opposite of what they claim to be wanting to achieve."
The Foreign Secretary believes the number of people heading back to Syria has “stopped dead”.
He also claimed that “less than 30 per cent” of Russian strikes are against Daesh targets.
Speaking at the Zaatari refugee camp, in Jordan, Hammond claimed both Russia and Iran are not being “particularly helpful to the peace process”.
