Russia must restrain itself, Assad from offensive Syria strikes -Kerry
WASHINGTON, Aug 1 (Reuters) - Russia must not conduct offensive operations in Syria and must keep Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government from doing so, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Monday.
"It is critical, obviously, that Russia restrain both itself and the Assad regime from conducting offensive operations, just as it is our responsibility to get the opposition to refrain from engaging in those operations," Kerry told a news conference with Colombian Foreign Minister Maria Angela Holguin.
