MOSCOW, March 21. /TASS/. Moscow believes that procrastinating indefinitely the drafting of the common stance on the ceasefire in Syria is "dangerous and counterproductive" and does not rule out stopping such actions unilaterally, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Monday.

"Moscow points with satisfaction to the continued cooperation with the US on all issues of ensuring the cessation of hostilities in Syria," the statement said. "For that end, Russia and the US as co-chairs of the International Syria Support Group (ISSG) have a number of communication channels, including military-to-military contacts. Today one can say that the ceasefire regime in Syria imposed on February 27 is largely observed."

The ministry pointed to the decrease in the level of violence, the growing number of the armed opposition groups "that have renounced hostilities and chose the path of reconciliation." On the other hand, careful monitoring data indicates the presence of a host of militant units, which "evade from complying with the ceasefire, violate it and not only disassociate themselves but, on the contrary, cooperate with Jabhat al-Nusra [outlawed in Russia — TASS] placed on the list of terrorist groups by the UN Security Council."
