MOSCOW. March 2 (Interfax) - The first results of the ceasefire in Syria make one cautiously optimistic, Federation Council Speaker Valentina Matviyenko said.
"The first ceasefire results make one cautiously optimistic. More than 100 various armed organizations that fought have stated their concept to ceasefire," Matviyenko told reporters on Wednesday.
"This process is going," she said.
The speaker reiterated that there is no alternative to ceasefire in Syria.
"What do all these talks about Plan B, Plan G, etc., mean? That someone is interested in further confrontation, in bloodshed, in further civil war, the killings of children and women, etc. There can be no other plans except for ceasefire and truce," Matviyenko said.
