Russia Has No Deal with US-Led Anti-ISIL Coalition on Intelligence Exchange

Russia is ready to help fight extremism, but has never struck any deals with the US-led coalition on exchange of intelligence concerning the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) terrorist group, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with Sergey Brilyov of Rossiya 1 TV.

“There is no agreement saying that we will exchange information in the framework of activity by the US-created so-called coalition for fighting the Islamic State (of Iraq and the Levant group). Likewise there’s no agreement on Russia sending experts to train the Iraqi army,” he said, RT reported.

Russia is according to Lavrov directly supporting governments of Syria and Iraq in their fight against the extremist organization.
