"We continue to welcome any action aimed at fighting terrorism," presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov was quoted by Russian media as saying on Thursday.
Peskov called for a broader coalition arguing that airstrikes without the Syria government approval lack a legal basis. “We believe that if such efforts are coordinated as part of a single coalition, they would become more effective,” he said.
The Kremlin spokesman added that Russia’s "doors are open" for the creation of such a coalition that would include Moscow, the West and some Middle Eastern states.
