TASS: US officials tried to sabotage ceasefire agreement on Syria — Russian Foreign Ministry

According to the ministry spokeswoman, the officials tried to interpret the agreement in "a diametrically opposite way"

MOSCOW, February 25. /TASS/. The United State tried to interpret the statement on cessation of military actions in Syria in a directly opposite manner, Russian Foreign Ministry’s official spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told a briefing on Thursday.

"We were confused when we heard first responses from Washington to the document. To be honest, we did not expect some officials to interpret this agreement in such a diametrically opposite way," Zakharova said. "Several officials in fact tried to cast doubt on the agreement signed by the presidents of Russia and United States," she added.

The diplomat added that this was a sabotage attempt. "The positive thing is that it was the first wave that we managed to break," she noted.
