An international task force was to meet on Monday in a bid to shore up Syria's fragile ceasefire, as the United Nations scrambled to deliver aid to thousands of besieged civilians, AFP reports.
The task force, co-chaired by Moscow and Washington, was to meet on Monday afternoon to evaluate allegations of a range of breaches, a Western diplomat said.
At the weekend, key regime backer Russia traded accusations with the main opposition grouping, the High Negotiations Committee, over truce violations.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said on Monday that the allegations "must all of course be verified," but that his government "would be vigilant about (the truce's) concrete application."
