WASHINGTON - British Defense Secretary Michael Fallon said on Friday that while he welcomed any ceasefire in Syria's six-year-old civil war, he wanted to see results on the ground.

"The recent history of the Syrian civil war is littered with ceasefires and it would be nice ... one day to have a ceasefire," Fallon said at an event in Washington.

"None of these have turned out to be ceasefires, they have been broken persistently, broken by the regime and indeed broken by Russian activity itself. So, ... we welcome any ceasefire, but let's see it, let's see the results on the ground," Fallon said.
