Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and US Secretary of State John Kerry announced a new plan on September 9 aimed at reducing violence in Syria, including a new nationwide ceasefire that took effect Monday.

Lavrov told reporters Tuesday that Moscow offered to approve the document without amendments by a UN Security Council resolution. A range of high-level Russian diplomatic figures echoed the call to publicize the agreement.
