The Russian Foreign Ministry stated in a statement that Vershinin and Jeffrey discussed "in detail the issues of passing the process of political settlement of the Syrian crisis in line with Resolution 2254 of the United Nations Security Council, which provides for a commitment to respect the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of the Syrian Republic."

According to the statement, the two sides also discussed "the situation on the ground" in Syria, including "the tasks of ensuring stability in Idlib, the east of the Euphrates, and the south of the country."

These discussions coincide with Washington's tightening the noose on al-Assad government backed by Russia, as Caesar Law that imposes sanctions on the Syrian government is approaching.
