The US-led coalition has won from the militants of the terrorist group "Islamic State" (banned in Russia), virtually all the territory they captured in Syria and Iraq. Such a statement was made by US President Donald Trump during an address to the citizens of the country.

"We have achieved historical successes in the fight against IGIL. At the moment, the coalition has won almost 100 percent of the territories in Iraq and Syria, which were previously controlled by these terrorists, "said the head of the White House.

Earlier in the US, there were allegations that the Russian military security services carried out only a small part of operations against terrorists, and Moscow "appropriated" a victory in Syria. In response, the Russian authorities called on Washington to stop "attributing other people's victories".

Statement Trump was another attempt by the United States to appropriate a victory in Syria, said Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee for International Affairs Alexei Chepa. "The participation of the US coalition in the defeat of the IG in general played a minimal role.

We know that, especially recently, Americans are carrying out activities aimed at supporting militants, "the parliamentarian said in an interview with RT.

According to the deputy, the US is trying to cover up its actions with the words about the victory over the terrorists, although in Syria they were defeated, since the main task was to destroy the ruling regime of Bashar Assad.
