“We are ready to back the patriotic opposition, including the so-called Free Syrian Army, with our air support. However, Washington is refusing to inform us of the locations of the terrorists and where the opposition is based,” Lavrov said in an interview with the Rossiya television channel, RT reported.

“The most important thing for us is to find people who will be true representatives of the armed groups who will confront terrorism among other things,” he added.

Russia launched airstrikes targeting positions of the ISIL terrorists in Syria on September 30 following a formal request from President Bashar Assad.

As of October 23, Moscow’s air force has destroyed 819 ISIL targets in 934 sorties, according to the country’s Defense Ministry.
