U.S. and Russian military officials are expected to sign on Tuesday guidelines the two nations would follow regarding aircraft flying over Syria, NBC News reported.
The document is focused on airspace safety, said Pentagon spokesperson Captain Jeff Davis, and will be very narrowly focused on the technical details such as what channel the pilots will communicate on and which language they will use when speaking to one another.
The announcement came on the same day Secretary of State John Kerry announced he will meet with leaders from Russia, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Jordan to discuss "real and tangible options" for a political solution to the Syria crisis.
He said there was no realistic military solution to the conflict and that "propping up [President Bashar] Assad will ultimately fail and also unfortunately lead to more bloodshed, more refugees, more extremism and more jihadis."
