Moscow-Sana
Russian President Vladimir Putin and his American counterpart Joe Biden discussed the situation in Syria in a phone call today.
The Russia Today website quoted the Kremlin as saying in a statement that "both sides gave a positive appreciation for coordinating efforts between Russia and the United States on the issue of aid transfer to Syria, including within the framework of the United Nations Security Council."
On the other hand, Putin and Biden continued, according to the statement, the Russian-American dialogue that began during their summit in Geneva on June 16 on information security and combating cybercrime.
In the context of recent reports about alleged cyber attacks from the territory of Russia, Putin noted that “in the past month, no requests on such issues have been received through the channels of the relevant authorities in the United States, despite the Russian side’s readiness to jointly work to thwart criminal operations in cyberspace. “.
"Given the scope and seriousness of the challenges in this field, cooperation between Russia and the United States must have a sustainable, professional and de-politicized character, using the relevant channels for exchanging information between relevant government institutions within the framework of bilateral legal mechanisms and in compliance with the principles of international law," Putin said.
According to the Kremlin, the two presidents stressed the "necessity of substantial and constructive cooperation in the field of cybersecurity and the continuation of appropriate communications."
In addition, Russia's permanent representative to the United Nations, Vasily Nebenzia, announced that Russia is conducting a dialogue with the United States regarding easing the sanctions imposed on Syria.
Sputnik news agency quoted Nebenzia as saying to reporters in response to a question about whether Russia had obtained any US promises regarding easing US sanctions imposed on Syria, "We are talking about this matter .. Yes."
It is noteworthy that the United States not only supported terrorism and used terrorists and armed separatist militias to achieve their plans and stole Syrian wealth from oil and wheat, but also imposed unilateral coercive economic measures, including Caesar's Law, which targets the Syrian citizen for a living, despite the spread of the Corona pandemic, which sparked widespread condemnations around the world. .
