State-of-the-art weapons, including drones, were supplied to terrorists in Syria by foreign sponsors via bogus companies, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said at an anti-terror conference in Moscow on Monday.

Lavrov also insisted that the practice of dividing terrorists into "good" and "bad" be stopped.
