Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Tuesday Moscow and Washington have maintained constant contacts on Syria.

During a press conference, Lavrov said contacts between Russia and US on Syria did not stop.

“Despite the fact that this agreement [on coordination between Russia and the US-led coalition] never came into force because of the US refusal and their disagreements inside of the White House, the contacts on the working level continued in Geneva, among others,” Lavrov said.

He added that working groups of the International Syria Support Group, which is co-chaired by Russia and the United States, continued weekly in Geneva.

“And contacts on these mechanisms between the Russian and US diplomats continue to this day,” the top Russian diplomat said.
