Baku – APA. The Obama administration has told Russia that it is at the end of its patience in trying to arrange a cease-fire in Syria, along with proposed joint U.S.-Russia counterterrorism operations, and that it expects a decision from Moscow in the next several days, The Washington Post reported.
A final proposal was given to the Russians as President Obama met with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday in China, senior administration officials said.
The proposal calls for a cease-fire in civil-war fighting throughout the country, including in and around the besieged city of Aleppo, and the safe, sustained delivery of humanitarian assistance. Once the truce is in place for a specified time period, the Syrian air force is to be officially grounded. Then the United States and Russia are to initiate a joint air campaign against counterterrorism targets.
Administration officials declined to specify what steps they would take if the Russia deal does not go through.
