The Syrian opposition is in negotiations with the Russians about an agreement to restore regime control over southwestern Daraa province, opposition and rebel negotiators said on Saturday.
The regime's offensive this month in southwest Syria has taken much of the eastern part of Daraa province from the opposition and rebels, backed by a bombardment that the United Nations says has pushed 160,000 people out of their homes.
Opposition negotiators and a spokesman said a six-member civilian and military committee of the southern rebels held a preliminary meeting along the administrative borders of neighbouring Sweida province.
"The committee held its first meeting with Russian officers who presented their demands," said Ibrahim Jabawi, a spokesman of the central operations room set up by the main Free Syrian Army groups in southern Syria.
A second round of talks is expected on Saturday.
