Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry have agreed additional parameters of ceasefire in Syria, the Russian foreign ministry said on Sunday after a telephone conversation between the two top diplomats, TASS reported.

"Two more telephone conversations between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry were held in the evening on February 21," the ministry said.
