Putin seeks international cooperation to resolve conflict in Syria
- 9 years ago
The Kremlin is evaluating whether to join the US, Britain and France in the air campaign against ISIL in Syria.
President Vladimir Putin said Russia was prepared to strike from the air, if approved by the UN, but ruled out troops on the ground.
At the UN both Putin and US President Obama bared their thoughts on Syria, highlighting major differences though some progress was made.

Speaking to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, Putin said: “We do hope that we will be able to find common ground with our Arab partners, with Turkey, with the United States… with European countries, with a view to finding a common platform to fight terrorism.”
