Kremlin notes shortage of US assistance in stabilizing situation in Syria

Russia can see a shortage of assistance from the US in stabilizing the situation in Syria, the Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

"As for the United States’ assistance in stabilizing the situation in Syria and advancing the search for a political and diplomatic solution, it has been in short supply," Peskov said.

The spokesman also said that the cooperation by Russia, Turkey and Iran provides significant backing for further peacemaking activity within the framework of UN efforts in Syria,

"As you may know, the Russian president has for the past few weeks maintained regular contacts with his Turkish and Iranian counterparts. This work will go on. It is expected to provide significant support for further peacemaking activity within the framework of UN efforts," TASS cited him as saying.
