Syria’s new military-political realities create conditions for the final defeat of the terrorist groups like Daesh and Jabhat al Nusra, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told a news briefing.
"Syria’s armed forces have completed the first phase of a large-scale operation in the Syrian desert," she said as quoted by Tass news agency. "Government forces have approached the Iraqi border."
"There is the certainty the new realities create conditions for the ultimate defeat of Daesh and Nusra," she added.
"Apparently, government forces might have achieved far more impressive results on this track, but the US air raids intervened," Zakharova stated.
"The dynamics of the military-political situation in Syria is positive by and large," Zakharova said."
