MOSCOW, Feb. 25 (Xinhua) -- Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed the Syrian issue with French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel during a phone conversation Sunday, the Kremlin said.
The importance of continuing joint efforts in the interests of full and speedy implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2401 was noted in the phone conversation, the Kremlin said in a statement.
Resolution 2401 adopted unanimously on Saturday demanded a ceasefire of at least 30 days across Syria.
During the conversation, Putin stressed the fact that the suspension of military operations does not extend to the fight against terrorist groups.
An agreement was reached by the three leaders to intensify the exchange of information on the situation in Syria through various channels, the Kremlin said.
