Lavrov: Russian-US Deal on Syria Ruined by Advocates of Military Solution

According to the Russian foreign minister, Russia's ceasefire agreement with the US on Syria has been broken down by forces advocating a military solution in the conflict.


Russia's cessation of hostilities agreement with the United States on Syria has been broken down by forces advocating a military solution in the conflict, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Tuesday.

"Unfortunately, there were many who wanted to break up these agreements from the beginning, including within the US administration," Lavrov said at a meeting with Saad Hariri, leader of Al-Mustaqbal – Future Movement, a political party in Lebanon

"As you know, unfortunately, they succeeded in this yesterday — those who opposed the political settlement of the Syrian crisis, who opposed the implementation of the UN Security Council resolutions, and those who clearly harbor plans of a military scenario," Lavrov stressed.

 At the same time, the United States has proven unable to meet its obligations on Syria, including unblocking Castello road in Aleppo and separating terrorists from armed opposition, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov added.

 "Because of these internal contradictions, the US was unable to fulfill its obligations under our agreements," Lavrov said at a meeting with Saad Hariri, leader of Al-Mustaqbal – Future Movement, a political party in Lebanon.

"This is not only in regard to the separation of the moderate opposition from Jabhat al-Nusra [known as Jabhat Fatah al-Sham since July], but also to the very clear, concrete commitments to unblock Castello road… It is sad and regrettable," Lavrov pointed out.
