US says main focus with Russia in Syria is cease-fire
The U.S. said Tuesday its "first and foremost" focus with Russia is to discuss sustainable proposals for the cease-fire to hold in Syria, while Moscow says it is ready for joint operations against Daesh or al-Nusra.

"What we’re discussing right now with Russia are proposals for a sustainable mechanism that helps support that and strengthen that cessation of hostilities," in Aleppo and Damascus, U.S. State Department spokesman Mark Toner told reporters, Turkish weekly reported.

Last week, Russia said it made a proposal to U.S. for it and the U.S. to conduct joint airstrikes against Daesh and al-Nusra beginning on May 25.

However, the Pentagon said it had not been formally notified of a Russian proposal for a joint action, Anadolu agency reported.
