OREANDA-NEWS. US Special Representative for Syria James Jeffrey claims that incidents involving US military personnel and private military companies, which he calls Russian, are occurring in the northeast of the Arab Republic. This is stated in an article published in The Wall Street Journal.

The publication mentions that there is a tense confrontation between the parties. According to Jeffrey, clashes do not happen every day, but the frequency has increased, and this causes concern.

The newspaper notes that earlier in social networks photos were published that depicted US military vehicles that blocked the road in Syria for cars. According to the article, those cars were owned by Russian military contractors. Some US servicemen reported that recently such situations occur more often. According to the military questioned by journalists, the Russian side is observing and estimating the reaction of Americans.
