Moscow, SANA \u2013 The Russian Defense Ministry blasted west\u2019s approach to reconstruction of Raqqa, warning that the city will remain in ruins if its policy is not being reviewed.<\/p>\n
On Monday, January 22, Chief of the US Agency for International Development USAID, Mark Green, infiltrated illegally into the city of Raqqa, under the pretext of examining of the scale of destruction in the city caused by the US-led coalition.<\/p>\n
The plans and the statements declared for the Raqqa\u2019s reconstruction, especially Green\u2019s statement, cannot but cause surprise, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Thursday.<\/p>\n
The Ministry went on to say that Green said first that the scale of destruction in Raqqa he saw everywhere was unspeakable, but when it came to providing real assistance, he declared in a quick backtrack that the mission of his agency was \u201cstabilization and not reconstruction.\u201d
\n\u201cIncidentally, Mr. Green understands stabilization not as provision of meals and essentials to Raqqa\u2019s residents, who remain without homes and food,\u201d the Russian Defense Ministry said.<\/p>\n
“Moreover, USAID plans to fund the proposed measures not from the US budget, but by means of causing pressure on the allies to make them provide aid,” the Defense Ministry concluded.<\/p>\n
