Moscow calls on the US-led international coalition fighting against the ISIS terrorist group to be more careful when planning airstrikes in Syria to avoid deaths among the civilians, Russian Foreign Ministry’s spokesperson Maria Zakharova said.
"We have repeatedly stressed: such ill-thought steps exacerbate the sufferings of Syrian civilians," TASS cited Zakharova as saying.
The spokesperson also noted that Russia is open for contacts with all parties concerned on the de-escalation zones and enhancing the ceasefire in Syria.
Zakharova added that Russia is holding active contacts with partners on fulfilling the memorandum signed in Astana on May 4 to create de-escalation zones.
"At the same time, Moscow is open for a candid exchange of views with all actors that could make a constructive contribution to strengthening the ceasefire, decreasing violence in Syria, easing the sufferings of Syrians and creating conditions for advancing the political process," the diplomat said.
