Strike was prepared in advance: Russia suspends Moscow-Washington deal on flights safety in Syria

Russia suspends the Memorandum on preventing incidents and ensuring flights safety during operations in Syria earlier signed with the United States in the wake of the US strike on the Syrian airbase, the Russian Foreign Ministry reported on Friday.


"The Russian side suspends the Memorandum on preventing incidents and ensuring flights safety during operations in Syria signed with the US," the ministry said.

"We’re urging the UN Security Council to hold an emergency meeting to discuss the current situation," the ministry said.

The ministry claims the strike was prepared in advance. Washington made decision on missile strike on Syria prior to developments in Idlib province, the statement said.
