The plans of coalition forces and the Iraqi army to carry out an assault in residential areas of Mosul will likely result in mass civilian casualties, Russia’s Defense Ministry said, while noting there are no humanitarian corridors in the Iraqi city.
“We are hearing reports about an upcoming storming of residential areas populated by civilians that are murky, but extremely alarming, given the mass casualties that could result,” Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov said.
He added that the US’ plans for the military operation give the impression that the city of more than a million residents "is only populated by terrorists,” according to Russia Today reported.
