Syrian rebels say talks with Russia on surrendering turf in south fail

BEIRUT — Syrian rebels say Wednesday that talks with regime ally Russia on handing over their remaining territory in the southern province of Daraa have failed as they oppose giving up their heavy arms.

“Negotiations with the Russian enemy in Busra al-Sham have failed, after they insisted on the surrender of heavy weapons,” the rebels’ Central Operations Room in the South says in a tweet.

“This round of negotiations didn’t produce any results… The session ended and no future meetings have been set,” spokesman Ibrahim Jabbawi says.
