UNITED NATIONS, United States, (APP/AFP) – The UN Security Council on Friday canceled an urgent meeting that had been called to
discuss a US-Russian deal on Syria, at the request of both the United
States and Russia, diplomats said.
During the scheduled meeting, US and Russian envoys were to present details of the joint agreement that calls for a ceasefire, the delivery of aid in Syria.
Russia, Syria’s key ally, is pushing for the Security Council to endorse the agreement, but France and other council members have said they must first learn more details about the deal.
Under the deal, all sides were due to allow deliveries of food and other basic supplies to the battleground city of Aleppo after a ceasefire went into effect on Monday.
