The Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the main goal of the declaration adopted by Russia and the US is the cessation of hostilities in Syria.
“Let me remind you once again that the president has said in his message that Russia intends to work closely with Damascus and the legitimate authorities of Syria but expects our American partners to cover their part of the way and use their influence with regard to those groupings, which they support,” he said
“At the same time, the basic goal is to stop the bloodshed in Syria and thus create the conditions for reaching a political settlement. This is the main goal,” TASS cited Peskov as saying.
