According to Latvia’s Ambassador to the United States, Andris Razans, the goal of Russia's military activities in Syria is not to defeat the Islamic State (IS) terrorist group, but to reinforce President Bashar al-Assad's regime. 

The ambassador also indicated that the U.S. is interested in a regime change in Syria because Assad is regarded as a serious cause of Syria's problems.

Razans added that various military activities in Syria can only benefit IS terrorists.
