The United States is aware of reports of alleged violations to the cessation of hostilities, the White House spokesperson Josh Earnest said during a press briefing on Monday.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The United States is aware of reports of alleged violations to the cessation of hostilities, ones the Obama administration had already anticipated, White House spokesperson Josh Earnest said during a press briefing on Monday.

"We've obviously been monitoring reports since the ceasefire went into effect on Friday afternoon Washington time," Earnest stated.

"Since that time we're aware there have been some reports of violations, some concerns that have been raised, that is consistent with our expectations heading in to this process, which is that we did anticipate that there would be reports of violations and that we would encounter some potholes on the road to implementing this successfully."

Earnest explained that it was too early to say which group was responsible for the alleged violations to the agreement, but that the reports were currently under investigation in line with the process in place which was "established before the cessation of hostilities went into effect."
