Alwaght- Russia urged the international community to put aside double standards in its approach to fighting terrorists, and unite against ISIS terrorist group aggression.
"We strongly condemn the atrocities committed by armed extremists in Palmyra,” RT cited the Russian Foreign Ministry as saying in a statement.
"Once again, we urge international and regional parties to abandon the vicious practice of using double standard approaches to fighting against terrorism, and launch efficient cooperation with the governments of Middle East countries, which are directly repelling the ISIS offensive,” the statement reads.
Moscow believes that so-called US-led airstrike campaign against ISIS positions in Iraq and Syria has not been able to impede the terrorists' gains in the two West Asian states.
"Despite efforts taken by the so-called anti-terrorist coalition led by the United States, the Islamic State is acting ever more actively and stops at nothing to reach its goal – establish a trans-border 'caliphate' on a vast area from Damascus to Baghdad," stressed the Russian foreign ministry's statement.
According to Kremlin, the ISIS terrorist group's recent advances in Syria and brutal massacre of civilians in the ancient city of Palmyra are indicative of the futility of the coalition’s approach.
