Russia’s Deputy Permanent Representative at the United Nations Gennadi Kuzmin said on Tuesday that about 3,000 people belonging to the banned terrorist group ISIS are still present in Syria. He said that at present the total number of members of the Islamic State [ISIS] and their allies in Syria is up to about 3,000.

The ambassador said that apart from these, the rest of the terrorist group is also present in Syria. He told that most of them are ready to fight. Even though US-led forces captured all ISIS-occupied territories in Syria and Iraq earlier this year, this militant group still exists in the region, as well as responsibility for several minor attacks.
