The United States and Russia have maintained an open communication channel after the American military's downing of a Syrian warplane over the weekend, according to Gen. Joseph Dunford Jr., chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Dunford said Washington will work militarily and diplomatically in the coming hours to "re-establish de-confliction" with Moscow. The Russian Defense Ministry said earlier it would suspend cooperation with the United States and treat all "flying objects" operated by coalition forces west of the Euphrates River as "targets."
