"We right now have no plans to conduct coordinated operations with the Russians," Warren said when asked whether Washington was ready to work together with Moscow against ISIL in Syria or Iraq.

The US and Russia test the communication line established under deconfliction mechanism in Syria on a daily basis, Warren said.
“We test our communication line daily,” Warren said in a briefing. “We speak to a Russian every day, but it’s purely communications chat.”
In October, senior officials from the US Department of Defense and the Russian Ministry of Defense signed a memorandum of understanding to avoid mishaps during the countries’ military operations against terrorists in Syria.
