Russia is ready to send an envoy to Syria tasked with coordinating UN humanitarian aid delivery to the unrest-hit country, Russian Foreign Ministry said Tuesday.

"After stopping violence, it will be possible to provide humanitarian aid urgently for all who need it. We suggest the UN Security Council instruct the UN secretary general to sent over to Syria an envoy to agree on security and delivery of humanitarian aid," Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexandr Lukashevich said.

"Russia is ready for the honest collective work in the UN in this direction," he added.

Earlier, France initiated a discussion over a UNSC resolution on the delivery of humanitarian aid to Syria.

On Monday, Russia's UN ambassador Vitaly Churkin said Russia would speak at the UN Security Council within days on humanitarian aid to Syria.
