High-level Russian and US diplomats have promised to help keep Syria peace talks alive in Geneva as they reached a deadlock, UN mediator Lakhdar Brahimi said.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov and US Under Secretary of State Wendy Sherman "promised that they will help both here and in their capitals, to unblock the situation for us," Brahimi told reporters on Thursday, according to the AFP news agency, following a meeting with the two diplomats.
"Until now, we are not making much progress in the process," Brahimi said, acknowledging that "failure is always staring at us in the face."
