The hope that the ceasefire in Syria will be reinstated is very little now, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Tuesday.
"We are expressing serious concerns here," Peskov said commenting on the offensive launched by Jabhat al-Nusra on Monday. The group had apparently used this week to fill their arsenals of ammunition and regrouping, he added.
Peskov said the condition for renewing the ceasefire in Syria is very simple. "There is the need to stop firing, there is the need for the terrorists to stop attacking Syria’s armed forces."
"And of course, it would be good if our American colleagues did not bomb the Syrians accidentally," he added.
"The main thing we can state - is an extremely tense situation," Peskov said.
"We know that the Syrian armed forces, that were the only units that observed a ceasefire throughout the whole week, had to retaliate to the offensive," Peskov noted.
"We understand that of course such actions put at threat the whole process (of Syrian settlement)," he admitted.
He said he hoped the Russian military "will get concrete first-hand information and will be able to make a relevant statement".
"Regrettably, we have to state that in the elapsed period - more than one week - our US counterparts have failed to separate terrorists and the so-called moderate opposition," Peskov said.
"For the time being we just state that this obligation of our US counterparts has not been fulfilled," Peskov said.

- At the same time he refrained from giving an unambiguous answer to the question if truce in Syria has come to an end.
"For the time being we just state that this obligation of our US counterparts has not been fulfilled," Peskov said.
