The General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation said on Monday that Russia is ready to respond to those who violated the agreement of the cessation of hostilities in Syria from tomorrow if Moscow has not received a US reply to its initiative on monitoring mechanism of cessation of hostilities.
It added that the delay of starting the validity of the agreed-on rules for responding to the violation of the cessation of hostilities is “unacceptable.”
The Russian General Staff continued to say that talks showed the US unwillingness to make fruitful discussion and consent on the text of cessation of hostilities agreement in Syria.

U.S. dismisses Russia call for urgent talks on Syria ceasefire...
ReplyDeleteThe United States on Monday rejected Russia's call for an urgent meeting over violations of Syria's three-week cessation of hostilities, saying that its concerns were already being handled in a constructive manner.
Russia's general staff of the armed forces proposed on Monday to hold an urgent meeting with U.S. representatives to agree on the mechanism of controlling the ceasefire in Syria, saying it would act unilaterally starting from March 22 if it gets no response.
"We have seen the media reports on alleged Russian concerns over ceasefire violations. Whoever is making such statements must be misinformed, because these issues have been discussed at length already, and continue to be discussed, in a constructive manner," a U.S. official told Reuters in Geneva.
