Russia urges caution on US plan for safe zones in Syria
MOSCOW- The Kremlin said Thursday that a U.S. plan for safe zones in Syria should be thoroughly considered.
Asked to comment on a draft executive order that President Donald Trump is expected to sign this week, Russian President Vladimir Putin's spokesman said it was important to "weigh all possible consequences" of the measure.
Dmitry Peskov said in a conference call with reporters that the U.S. hasn't consulted with Russia on the subject and noted that "it's important not to exacerbate the situation with refugees."
While suspending visas for Syrians and others, the order directs the Pentagon and the State Department to produce a plan for safe zones in Syria and the surrounding area within 90 days. It includes no details.
