"We are interested in cooperation with our Iraqi colleagues to take measures to prevent the outflow of terrorists from Mosul with their weapons, which of course will exacerbate the situation in Syria," Lavrov said following talks in Moscow with his Iranian and Syrian counterparts Mohammad Javad Zarif and Walid Muallem.
"We will discuss this with the United States and other members of the coalition," he said.
The offensive to recapture Iraq's second city, launched on October 17 and backed by a US-led coalition, is seeing tens of thousands of Iraqi troops advance on Mosul in a bid to retake the last major Iraqi city under IS control.
Russia's defence ministry last week urged the coalition not to "drive terrorists" from Iraq to Syria during the offensive, warning it of the risk of "freely roaming" IS jihadist gangs.
The United States said Thursday that up to 900 IS jihadists have been killed in the offensive so far as Iraqi forces allied with Kurdish peshmerga fighters have taken a string of towns and villages in a cautious but steady advance.
Western leaders have meanwhile accused Moscow of committing possible war crimes in the Syrian city of Aleppo through indiscriminate bombing in support of a brutal government offensive to retake the city's rebel-held east.
The Russian defence ministry has said that neither Syrian nor Russian warplanes have bombed Aleppo for 10 days.
Russia has meanwhile denied any role in deadly air strikes on a Syrian school in the rebel-held province of Idlib that killed 22 children.
According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the strikes had been carried out by "warplanes -- either Russian or Syrian."
Lavrov on Friday repeated Moscow's denial of involvement in the attack, saying that the defence ministry has published "information with facts that refute these claims and show the fabricated nature of this disinformation."
Russia is a demon, the good guys are the Anglo force, they provide millions of dollars and pounds and whatever currency the Anglo world trades in Francs, Pounds, Euros, you name it, it's all there in the mix, but the largest currency is in US Dollars.
And the US is the biggest supplier of that "money" to fund a rabbit hole of terrorists, you think you have a name for them and then all of a sudden there is a name change.
Just like in the corporate world of rebranding. It's all about the name and the image, Each one better than the one before. I will add they are more "Evil" they are now head chopping children. They the funders of death and destruction.
As for Mosul, Aleppo, the ultimate gain is contain Russia, to destroy not only the country and the landmass of the Middle East which is just a hares breath away from Russia.
The West covets so much, because with Russia gone, they are free to grab all the resources that there greedy little hands can hold onto.
The Eurasian continent is there goal. "Middle Earth"
Wasn't it Kissinger that said something like control oil and you can control nations, control food and you can control the world.
And in that battle for "Middle Earth" millions of lives have been lost and great suffering.
The West does not recognize that loss of lives or the suffering, it's all "Collateral Damage". People don't count it's the results, and the result is the ultimate subjugation of Russia, and of course the ability to rape and plunder every inch of soil, of Eurasia, it's people, the lands they occupy the resources the own.
Just so the Anglo elites can keep going for another, what 100 , 200, 300 years or more, so there lifestyle can be maintained.
So they can be Lords of the Dance.
