US, Russia to sign MOU on Syria airstrikes

(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) The Obama Administration on Monday said it will be signing an agreement with the Russians in a bid to avoid any accidents while carrying out airstrikes in Syria. "We're very close, we've got a document that's just about signature-ready," Pentagon Spokesperson Navy Captain Jeff Davis told reporters. He said the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) could be ready by Tuesday. "As you know, we actually fundamentally disagree with just about everything Russia is doing in Syria, but we are seeking an MOU to narrowly focus on the issue of air-space safety," Davis affirmed.
