Moscow: USA Didn’t Inform Russia Of Airstrike Prior To The Attack

We Are Change

It seems that either Pentagon or Russian officials are lying about the claims regarding USA-Russian communications prior to tonight’s airstrikes in Syria. The Pentagon has released a statement saying that they had notified Russian forces “in advance of the strike using the established deconfliction line.”

However, a news network run by the Russian Ministry of Defense claims that U.S. officials “informed a number of countries about the forthcoming strike against Syria, but Russia was not among these countries.”

Now, it looks like we will have to figure out which side is lying. We will keep you updated as new developments arise regarding this apparent miscommunication.
