Europe, Russia propose rival resolutions on Syria

None

European nations and Russia proposed rival UN resolutions Friday, both calling for expanding the number of UN ceasefire monitors in Syria from 30 to 300 but disagreeing on possible sanctions and on how quickly the larger observer force should get on the ground.

 

The key difference in the texts - circulated to the Security Council and obtained by The Associated Press - is whether there should be a sustained ceasefire before the expanded force is deployed. (AP)
