Moscow, February 25 (RHC)-- Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has dismissed speculation about an alternative plan for a political settlement of the Syria crisis. 

Lavrov on Thursday rejected claims by his U.S. counterpart John Kerry that there is a ‘Plan B’ if an imminent truce deal for Syria fails to reduce hostilities in Syria.

Kerry said on Tuesday that in case a political transition fails to unfold in Syria, the U.S. has a number of “Plan B” options.  Other officials in Moscow denied the existence of one such option, saying the only agreement reached between Moscow and Washington is an imminent truce in the Arab country that will be formalized through a United Nations Security Council resolution.
