Clinton Claims Outcome of Syria Ceasefire Agreement Depends on Russia
MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Russia is in consultations with the United States to release their latest conditional ceasefire agreement in Syria at the UN Security Council, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov told Sputnik on Friday.

"That is what we are talking about with our US partners. The idea of upholding these agreements, in our view, is useful. But it is not reasonable to ask our partners to support something they do not know," Bogdanov said in an interview.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and US Secretary of State John Kerry announced a new plan on September 9 aimed at reducing violence in Syria, including a new nationwide ceasefire that took effect Monday. The pact envisions Russian-US anti-terrorism coordination through a Joint Implementation Center if the truce holds up without violations for a week.

Lavrov told reporters Tuesday that Moscow offered to approve the document without amendments by a UN Security Council resolution. A range of high-level Russian diplomatic figures echoed the call to publicize the agreement.
