		</div><p>President Vladimir Putin has denied that Russian air strikes are hitting moderate opposition groups rather than Islamic State militants.</p>
<p>Speaking to Russian state TV, Mr Putin defended Russia&#8217;s military operations in Syria, and said the aim was to support President Bashar al-Assad.</p>
<p>&#8220;By no means do we want to get involved in any inter-religious conflicts in Syria,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We have only one goal which is to support the local authorities (ie Assad&#8217;s regime), and create conditions for political settlement.&#8221;</p>
<p>He said the overall aim was to &#8220;stabilise the legitimate authority&#8221; is Assad&#8217;s regime. He said that without Moscow&#8217;s support for President Assad there was a danger that &#8220;terrorist groups&#8221; could overrun Syria.</p>
<p>The US-led coalition which has also been carrying out air strikes in Syria has said it would mot be co-operating with Russia.</p>
