However, the US State Department said that Washington will not discuss joint operations in Syria with Russia.
According to the US State Department, Secretary of State Kerry has called on Russia to pressure Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to stop airstrikes targeting opposition forces in Aleppo and the suburbs of Damascus.
According to the ministry, Washington also urged the Assad regime to stop escalating attacks on Aleppo and Daraya, stop besieging towns and blocking access to humanitarian aid./.
