Syrian President Bashar Assad said he regretted the breakdown of Russia-US cooperation on ceasefire in the country, but said he knew from the start it would not work, Sputnik News reports.
''We regret it, but we knew in advance that it wouldn’t work, because the agreement, it’s not only about the talks between the two great powers, it’s not about what they’re going to sign or agree upon; it’s about the will, and we already knew, we had already known that the Americans didn’t have the will to reach any agreement," Assad said in an interview.
