我们特别担心所谓伊拉克和黎凡特伊斯兰国（伊黎伊斯兰国）影响力的扩大和人数的增加，以及它大力兼并主要是在该国北部的其他武装反对派团体。如果不挫败这一进程，那么，我们明年可能面临一支更可怕的力量。在这方面，我们对一个情况感到惊讶，在商定今天通过的关于阿富汗的主席声明（S/PRST/2016/14）时，我们的美国同事拒绝在案文中列入任何关于伊黎伊斯兰国日益增长威胁的文字。俄罗斯期待美国更积极地使用武力遏制该国的伊黎伊斯兰国战斗人员。
We are particularly concerned by the spread in the influence and the growth in the numbers of the so-called Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), and its drive to gobble up other armed opposition groups, mainly in the north of the country. If that process is not thwarted, then by next year we could face an even more redoubtable force. In that regard, we were surprised by the fact that in agreeing to the presidential statement on Afghanistan (S/PRST/2016/14)adopted today, our American colleagues refused to include into the text any wording on the growing threat of ISIL. Russia expects a more active use of force by the United States to suppress ISIL fighters in this country.
