The Wall Street Journal cited US officials as saying on Tuesday that Washington planned to supply what it deems "moderate" Syrian rebels with even more powerful weapons able to shoot down the government's combat aircraft.
"Russia has only one consistent plan which is to assist the peaceful solution of the Syrian problem in every possible way and systematically help the legitimate Syrian authorities fight terrorism. The settlement process must be inclusive, meaning all sects and national minorities must be involved. This is Russia’s plan," Peskov said.
The day after Russia and the United States negotiated the ceasefire, on February 23, White House spokesperson Josh Earnest said the United States was "not ruling out a plan B" in case the truce did not hold. Russia questioned US commitment to the cessation of hostilities with its contingency plan.
