Russian forces have moved to the east of the Euphrates River in northern Syria and reached the outskirts of the city of Kobani, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a British-based war monitor said on Wednesday.

The YPG/PKK made a deal with the Syrian government for army troops to deploy at the Turkey-Syria border after turkey begins operatıon in Syria last week.

“Russian forces reached an area outside of Kobani, about 4-5 kilometers outside the city, after crossing the Euphrates,” noted Rami Abdulrahman, the director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a British-based war monitor. (ILKHA)
