Military Times reports that “President Obama’s national security adviser says the U.S. now talks ‘almost daily’ with Russia to ensure its military operations in Syria don’t clash.”  

“Susan Rice is speaking at the U.S. Air Force Academy. She says the U.S. and Russian governments are working together to investigate ceasefire violations and ‘build common ground’ among Syrians.”  

“Such frequent military-to-military discussions reflect a change. The U.S. suspended military ties after Russia annexed Crimea in 2015. But simultaneous U.S. and Russian air campaigns in Syria fueled concerns about a dangerous aerial incident.”
