US Reacts To Russian Forces’ Breach of Deconfliction Arrangement in Syria

United States of America has reacted to Russian Forces’ breach of deconfliction in Syria, which resulted in the sustenance of injuries by American forces and described such act as deliberately provocative and aggressive behavior.

Chief Pentagon Spokesperson, Jonathan Hoffman in a statement on Thursday said:

“On Tuesday, Russian forces breached our deconfliction arrangement in Syria and injured U.S. service members with their deliberately provocative and aggressive behavior.  Our military deconflicts operations in time and space with Russian forces in Syria to protect the force and mitigate risk of unintended escalation.  

“We commend our personnel on the ground for deescalating this unfortunate encounter through professionalism and restraint, which are hallmarks of the U.S. military. 
 
“We have advised the Russians that their behavior was dangerous and unacceptable. We expect a return to routine and professional deconfliction in Syria and reserve the right to defend our forces vigorously whenever their safety is put at risk.”
