US warns Russia of limited patience in Syria

The US Secretary of State said that Russia needs to understand that America's patience is not infinite, but is actually very limited.

US Secretary of State John Kerry on June 15 asked Russia and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to respect a fragile ceasefire, warning that the US was running out of patience over the Syrian conflict and over Assad's fate.

Speaking during a visit to Norway and after meeting with his Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif, Mr. Kerry said that Russia needs to understand that America's patience is not infinite, but is actually very limited whether Mr. Assad is included in the peace roadmap or not.

Peace talks aimed at ending Syria's five-year civil war have stalled as violence continues in many areas.

US Secretary of State Kerry said that the ceasefire in Syria is very strong and it needs to be taken seriously. The US is also ready to arrest responsible members of the opposition - those involved in the continuing violence./.
