The Kremlin said on Wednesday that the United States
had betrayed and abandoned the Syrian Kurds and advised the Kurds to withdraw
from the Syrian border as per a deal between Moscow and Ankara or be mauled by
the Turkish army.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov made the comments to
Russian news agencies. He complained that it appeared that the United States
was encouraging the Kurds to stay close to the Syrian border and fight the
Turkish army.
Meanwhile, the head of Russia’s defense sales agency
said that Russia and Turkey are in talks about extra deliveries of Russian-made
S-400 missile defense systems to Ankara, the Interfax news agency reported.
