Moscow expects U.S. to specify its idea of 'safe zones' in Syria - Lavrov

MOSCOW. Feb 22 (Interfax) - Moscow expects that U.S. President Donald Trump's idea to set up so-called 'safe zones' in Syria would be clarified, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said at a press conference on Wednesday.

"We will wait for extra clarifications. But, in essence, we assume that initiatives of the sort should take into consideration a real situation 'on the ground' in Syria, where many players are working, both with their ground forces and in the airspace," Lavrov said.
