Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov accuses the U.S. of encouraging separatism among Syrian Kurds. This comes as Turkish forces capture a number of villages in north-western Syria, on the third day of an offensive against Kurdish militants.

In this edition of The Debate, Press TV has conducted an interview with Jim W. Dean, themanaging editor of Veterans Today from Atlanta, and Ian Williams with Foreign Policy in Focus from New York, to discuss the US plan to encourage separatism among Syrian Kurds following the third day of Turkey's assault on the Kurdish-held province of Afrin.
