The United Nations cannot confirm a Russian statement that talks on the Syrian conflict planned for February 8 in Geneva have been postponed, a spokeswoman for UN special envoy Staffan de Mistura said today.
"There is no confirmation that the February talks are postponed," said Yara Sharif. "We're going to be sure when the special envoy is back" from talks next week with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said earlier today that the Geneva talks would be postponed until the end of February.
