Russia discusses potential cooperation

RUSSIAN President Vladimir Putin discussed with his Security Council yesterday potential cooperation with other countries on fighting against Islamic State, Russian news agencies cited the Kremlin’s spokesman as saying.

Russia, whose ties with Washington are at their lowest since the end of the Cold War, has not yet responded to calls from the United States to build an international coalition to destroy the radical Sunni Muslim group.

“Permanent members of the Security Council exchanged opinions on possible forms of cooperation with other partners on a plan to counter Islamic State in the framework of international law,” Interfax quoted Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov as saying. He did not say who the other partners were.

Islamic State could threaten Moscow as it includes a number of Muslims from Russia’s North Caucasus region.
