Russia: US and France planning military intervention in Syria

Russia may call an urgent UN Security Council meeting to “stop the slide towards escalation in Syria”, Russian sources told Al-Mayadeen channel. The source revealed that Russia had information that Washington and Paris are currently putting a plan for military intervention in Syria to stop the advance of the Syrian army.

However, sources confirmed that there was no agreement on the next round of negotiations in Geneva.

“Washington has been confused by Abdel-Fattah Al-Sisi’s visit to Moscow, and all options are open,” he added, explaining that serious developments are taking place in the Syrian crisis and the relations between Moscow and Washington.

In a swift response, US official accused the Syrian government’s delegation of “shuffling out of every step in Geneva negotiations,” adding that “Washington expects from Russia to exercise pressure on Damascus to engage seriously in the peace talks.”
