Speaking to the Russian TV news network Rossiya 24, Fomin expressed concerns about the situation in the security zone near al-Tanf town on the Syrian-Iraqi borders, adding that it is used to train and rearm the terrorists under the supervision of special operations forces and other units of the United states.
