Chief of Russia’s General Staff Valery Gerasimov discussed Syria and some other issues of mutual interest with US Marine Corps Gen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Joseph Dunford in a phone conversation on January 10, Russia’s Defense Ministry said.
"The situation in Syria was highlighted along with other issues of mutual interest," TASS cited the statement as saying.
The ministry added that the last time Gerasimov and Dunford talked on the phone was in early December of 2017, when they shared views on the situation within Syria and beyond.
