MUNICH (AP) — U.S. officials say Russia has proposed a March 1 ceasefire in Syria, but the United States believes the fighting must stop immediately.
One official says the U.S. believes the Russians are giving themselves and the Syrian military on the ground three weeks to launch harsher attacks on opposition forces.
And the U.S. is worried that the opposition could suffer irreversible losses in northern and southern Syria.
The officials weren't authorized to discuss the matter publicly and demanded anonymity.
The U.S., Russia and other countries will discuss different options for ending the Syrian civil war in Munich this week.
The officials say Washington's goals are clear: an immediate ceasefire and full humanitarian access.
