The Kremlin welcomed the United States’ latest major success in the fight against international terrorism.

“Russia was one of the first countries to encounter the dangers of global terrorism, and, sadly, knows from first-hand experience what Al-Qaeda is all about. The Russian authorities noted that all terrorists will inevitably receive their just punishment, and stressed at the same time that only combined efforts of the international community can bring real results in fighting global terrorism. Russia is ready to continue expanding cooperation in this area,” reads a statement posted on the official website of the Russian President.
