The United States is unable to confirm the 14 ceasefire violations noted by the Russian center on Syrian reconciliation over the past 24 hours, US Department of State spokesperson John Kirby said on Thursday.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The spokesperson added that the United States has not seen any significant ceasefire violations in Syria over the past day amid implementing the agreement on cessation of hostilities.

"I can’t confirm those numbers, those reports," Kirby stated in a press briefing.
