MOSCOW (Sputnik) According to the ministry's statement, although Moscow is satisfied with the level of Russia-US cooperation on Syrian ceasefire, "it is dangerous and counterproductive" to endlessly drag on the creation of a mechanism on coordinated reaction from the members of the International Syria Support Group to ceasefire violations in Syria.

"We do not rule out the possibility that we could be forced to take unilateral actions against the militants who do not respect the ceasefire regime," the statement said.
