MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 18th October, 2018) Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov, commenting on the resignation of Staffan de Mistura from the post of the UN special envoy for Syria, said Thursday not all of his actions were effective, but added that the Kremlin hoped for progress in settlement.

De Mistura earlier said he would quit in late November for personal reasons.
