Russian Foreign Minister advises US counterpart to be patient on Syria issue.

Recently, US Secretary of State John Kerry said that Washington's patience "is not limitless, it is only limited by the reality of whether Mr. Assad is held accountable."

Mr. Lavrov said he was surprised by Secretary Kerry's statements. According to him, the Russian Federation has not promised anything to any of the parties involved in resolving the Syrian conflict.

At the same time, according to the Russian diplomat, there has been no progress in the negotiations on Syria. He added that the attempt to invite all parties to the negotiating table as required by the UN Security Council Resolution has failed, but not because of Russia but because of the US.
