FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The two leaders held a “detailed discussion of Syria in which the recent escalation was noted,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday, referring to a bomb attack at the heart of Syria’s senior command earlier in the day.
The terrorist attack on the National Security headquarters in Damascus killed Syrian Defense Minister Dawoud Rajiha, Deputy Defense Minister Assef Shawkat, Security Chief General Hisham Ikhtiyar, and Assistant Vice President Hassan Turkmeni.
Peskov said Putin and Obama “have a coinciding view of the general satiation in Syria (and agree) on the end goal of reaching a settlement.”
But “differences in approaches remain that concern practical steps in achieving a settlement,” he noted.
Kremlin and the White House remain at odds over a possible UN Security Council resolution against the Arab country.
Russia has repeatedly said that it opposes any military intervention in Syria, highlighting that it will veto any resolution which allows the use of force in the country.
Moscow proposed its own draft that extends a current UN monitoring mission in Syria by another three months.
However, the United States and its Western allies refused to back Russia’s initial proposal or an amended version submitted at the UN on Tuesday, and have been mounting pressure on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to leave office.
Syria has been experiencing unrest ever since March 2011, with demonstrations being held both against and in support of President Bashar al-Assad’s government.
The Syrian government says outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorists are the driving factor behind the unrest and deadly violence while the opposition accuses the security forces of being behind the killings.
Damascus also says that the chaos is being orchestrated from outside the country and the security forces have been given clear instructions not to harm civilians.
