UNITED NATIONS (Sputnik) — Moscow has been discussing details of the humanitarian initiative, including using Castello road on regular basis, with Washington, Churkin told reporters after UN Security meeting on Syria.

"Yes, this is what we are looking at," Churkin told reporters answering a corresponding question after UN Security meeting on Syria.

Syria has been mired in civil war since 2011, with government forces loyal to President Bashar Assad fighting numerous opposition factions and extremist groups. A US-Russia-brokered ceasefire came into force across Syria on February 27. It does not apply to terrorist groups such as Daesh and Jabhat Fatah al Sham (al-Nusra Front), both outlawed in many countries, including Russia.
