“It would be inappropriate to send a Russian military contingent there. I don't think we should interfere with the ground operation. That's what the Syrian armed forces are for. We can help them, which is what we do, but nothing more. It makes no sense to form some kind of group of collective force and send it there to fight terrorism. The question has never been raised this way and is unlikely to be raised,” Bordyuzha said.
