Putin and Kerry discuss Syria, Ukraine in Moscow

Описание: (14 Jul 2016) The United States on Thursday offered Russia a broad new military partnership in Syria, hoping the attraction of a unified campaign against the Islamic State group and al-Qaida - and a Russian commitment to ground Syria's bombers - could end five years of civil war.
If finalised, the deal could dramatically alter America's role in the conflict.
US Secretary of State John Kerry met Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin on Thursday to present him with the new plan.
The eight-page proposal, which The Washington Post published on its website, shows the US offering intelligence and targeting sharing, and even joint bombing operations.
It is a pact Moscow had long wanted, but the Obama administration resisted.
During the meeting Kerry and Putin also discussed the situation in Ukraine and the ways Russia and US can cooperate in order to help resolve these and other issues.
Kerry is in Moscow on a two-day visit and will meet with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Friday.
