iStock/Thinkstock(WASHINGTON) — Will there soon be another round of talks between the U.S. and Russia on airstrikes?

Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook issued a statement on Friday saying that Russia had contacted the U.S. about a second round of talks to deconflict the airspace over Syria where U.S. and Russian planes are now flying airstrike missions.

Cook said in the statement the Russian proposal is being reviewed and that talks could take place as early as this weekend.

It’s been eight days since the first round of talks, which were held over videoconference and which the Russians secretly recorded and quietly posted on YouTube the same day.
