US ‘Not Fulfilling’ Syria Agreement: Russian MoD

Russia on Thursday accused Washington of failing to meet its obligations under the Syria ceasefire agreement, while criticizing US officials for voicing skepticism over cooperation with Moscow.



Russian military spokesman Igor Konashenkov slammed the US for what he called “rhetorical fog” intended “to hide the fact that it is not fulfilling its part of the obligations.”

In a statement, he defined the US role as “first and foremost to separate ‘moderate opposition’ groups from terrorists”.

“As of the third day (of the truce), only the Syrian army is observing the regime of silence. At the same time, the ‘moderate opposition’ led by the US is increasing the amount of attacks on residential districts,” Konashenkov said.

He insisted: “Russia has respected its obligations to fulfill the ceasefire regime in Syria from the first minute.”

Under the agreement, US and Russia said they will establish a “Joint Implementation Centre” to share targeting information for air strikes in Syria if the truce that went into effect on Monday holds for one week.
