Vladimir Putin: Dear friend, have just had a telephone conversation with the President of the United States Barack Obama. Talk initiative came from the Russian side. But interest has clearly been mutual. Joint Statement of the Russian Federation and the United States as co-chairs of the International Syria's support groups to cease hostilities in Syria February 22, 2016 During the meeting, we approved a joint statement of Russia and the United States as co-chairs of the International Support Group Syria to cease hostilities in the country. The adoption of the statement was preceded by intensive work of teams of Russian and US experts. This was used and the positive experience gained in the course of cooperation on the destruction of chemical weapons in Syria. Our negotiators have held several rounds of closed consultations. As a result, it managed to reach an important concrete result. Agreement was reached on the cessation of hostilities in Syria since Damascus for the midnight time - February 27, 2016 conditions, which are an integral part of the Russian-American statement. The essence of these conditions. Before noon, February 26, 2016 all the warring parties in Syria must reaffirm our American partners, or their commitment to the ceasefire. Russian and American military together on maps to identify areas in which there are such groups. Against them combat operations of the armed forces of the Syrian Arab Republic, the Russian armed forces and the US-led coalition will not be carried out. The opposition, in turn, stop the military operations against the armed forces of the Syrian Arab Republic and the groups supporting them. As for LIH, "Dzhabhat en-Nusra" and other terrorist organizations recognized as such by the United Nations Security Council, they are from the cessation of hostilities are eliminated in full. Attempts on them will continue to be applied. It is essential that the Russian and US co-chairs of the International Support Group Syria are ready to run an effective mechanism for the implementation and monitoring of the ceasefire by both the Syrian government and armed opposition groups. For this purpose will be created a "hot line" communications, and - if necessary - a working group to exchange information. Russia will conduct the necessary work to Damascus - with the legitimate leadership of Syria. We hope that the United States did the same with its allies and groups that supported them. I am convinced that with the US side agreed joint action can radically expand the crisis in Syria. There was, finally, a real chance to end years of bloodshed and violence. The result should be a relief, humanitarian access to all those Syrian citizens. The main thing - to create conditions to launch a genuine political process through a wide mezhsiriysky dialogue in Geneva under the auspices of the UN. Recent history, unfortunately, is replete with examples of one-sided, without UN sanctions, action in favor of short-term political or opportunistic interests led to dramatic results. These examples are on everyone's lips: Somalia, Iraq, Libya, Yemen. Against this background, the Russian-American agreement on a cease-fire in Syria, and their joint implementation, in coordination with all the countries - participants of the International Syrian support groups can be an example of responsible, based on international law and UN principles of action of the international community against the threat of terrorism. I would like to hope that the Syrian leadership, and all our partners in the region and beyond will support the chosen representatives of the Russian and US actions algorithm.
