Senator Alexei Pushkov criticized Trump for his words about the victory in Syria and pointed out their inconclusive nature. "We defeated the IG in Syria". These words of Trump do not convince even the US media: they write that Russia defeated Syria. And yesterday there was Putin, not Trump, "- wrote a politician on Twitter. He was supported by Web users who were even surprised that Washington had not yet attributed victory to the Patriotic War of 1812. At this the outburst of indignation at the Russian senator did not stop and already in the next message he remembered how the US hid behind the back of the USSR during the Second World War.

Donald Trump earlier said that the United States defeated the "Islamic state" (a terrorist group banned in Russia) in Iraq and Syria, RIA Novosti reports.. At the same time, he stressed that the troops continue to pursue militants in other countries, but it is not clear in which.

Recall that on December 11, Vladimir Putin visited the Russian airbase in the Syrian Khmeimim, where he ordered the withdrawal of troops from the country and congratulated everyone on the defeat of the terrorists.
