美國說俄羅斯必須證明敘利亞停火能夠奏效大綱

A senior U.S. official says it is up to Russia to demonstrate that a cease-fire plan for Syria can still work.

The official said high-level meetings were planned with Russia "to try to get a sense from them about where they think this can go from here." Consultations were also ongoing with envoys from the 19-nation International Syria Support Group and the U.N. Security Council.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault, who was due to attend an ISSG meeting Tuesday, said the U.S.-Russian cease-fire deal “remains the only hope to resolve the conflict."

The truce was meant to pause fighting between the Syrian government and rebels, limit Syrian airstrikes that in the past have been blamed for killing civilians, and to allow for delivery of humanitarian aid. But as with earlier agreements, both sides accused the other of violations and the pact had largely fallen apart after a week.

On Monday the United Nations said a joint aid convoy with the Syrian Red Crescent was bombed west of the Syrian city of Aleppo, killing or wounding many humanitarian workers.

It remains unclear whose aircraft struck the convoy. The Pentagon said the U.S.-led coalition was not involved, and a senior U.S. official said there were only two other possibilities, referring to Syria and Russia.美國一位高級官員說，現在要由俄羅斯來證明敘利亞的停火協議是否能維持下去。

這名官員說，“爲了試圖瞭解他們對局勢發展的看法”，已經安排了高級別會談。同國際敘利亞支持組織19個成員國特使以及聯合國安理會的協商也在進行之中。

法國外長讓-馬克·艾羅定於星期二出席國際敘利亞支持組織的會議。他說，美俄停火協議“仍然是解決這個衝突的唯一希望。”

停火的目的是暫停敘利亞政府和反政府武裝之間的戰鬥並限制敘利亞的空襲行動，以往的空襲被指造成了平民喪生，停火也是爲了使人道救援物資的運送可以暢通無阻。但是，跟以前達成的協議一樣，這次雙方還是互指對方違反協議，協議實行一星期後就幾近崩潰。

聯合國星期一說，它和敘利亞紅新月會的一個聯合車隊在敘利亞阿勒頗市以西遭到轟炸，導致多名人道救援人員傷亡。

目前還不清楚是哪一方的飛機空襲了這個車隊。五角大樓星期一說，美國領導的聯軍沒有捲入此事。美國的一位高級官員說，這事只有兩種可能性，意指敘利亞和俄羅斯。
