Voice Of America: US, NATO Express Concern About Russian Military in Syria
The United States and NATO have reacted with concern to reports of increased Russian military presence in Syria.
A senior U.S. defense official told VOA that Russia has been airlifting military supplies to Syria, calling such activities “unhelpful.”
State Department spokesman John Kirby told reporters he did not have confirmation of a Russian buildup, but that Russia's "intent here is unclear." He said Secretary of State John Kerry discussed the issue by telephone with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
