The photographs that the Russian Defense Ministry published on Sunday on its Facebook page provide compelling evidence that the Syrian Democratic Forces and the US troops that support them are present in Syria's areas held by the violent extremist group ISIS, the ministry said Monday.

Russian Defense Ministry's spokesman Mj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said Monday that Moscow received no response from the United States or the SDF on the issue of the photographs's revelation by Russia.

"No explanations or refutstions on the issue from the representatives of the SDF or the US Armed Forces did not follow," he stressed.

The photos in question show US Hummer armored vehicles that are used by the US Army's special forces in the Deir ez-Zor area. Konashenkov stressed that the pictures showed no sign of clashes between Daesh terrorists and US personnel, citing the absense of shell ctraters and the traces of airstrikes in the area.
