Russia assesses Britain's contribution to fight against ISIS

Russia's Defense Ministry believes that British Defence Minister Michael Fallon has overestimated the role of Great Britain in the present defeat of ISIS (banned in Russia).

"Where were all these British 'forces of good' when in the middle of 2015 ISIS almost devoured a third of Iraq and all of Syria," the Defense Ministry spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov asked?

Earlier, Fallon said that Britain needed to “examine” how to provide “medallic recognition” for those who make a “vital contribution” to the fight against ISIS outside the battlefield.
