Russia last month began striking targets in Syria. Although Russia

has

Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) targets in

, the large majority of its military strikes have not been aimed at ISIL and instead targeted the moderate Syrian opposition and civilians.

U.S. State Department said: “Greater than 90% of the strikes that we've seen them take to date have not been against ISIL or al-Qaida-affiliated terrorists."

Meanwhile, NATO has called on Russia to stop attacking "Syrian opposition and civilians" and focus on fighting ISIL.
