The Kremlin on Thursday said it welcomed British air strikes against "Islamic State" (ISIS) terrorists in Syria but argued they lacked a legal basis and called for a broader coalition, AFP reports.
"We continue to welcome any action aimed at fighting terrorism, at fighting the Islamic State," Russian news agencies quoted Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov as saying.
"We of course consider that if these actions are coordinated and if everybody acts as part of a single coalition, effectiveness can be significantly increased."
