Secretary of State John Kerry will push for a ceasefire in Syria at a meeting Thursday in Germany, CNN reported.

Kerry is also hoping to get immediate aid for civilians.

{mosads}On Wednesday, the U.S. military condemned Russia’s airstrike campaign in Syria, which has increased in recent days in Aleppo. 

“Russia’s activities in Aleppo and in the region right now are making it much more difficult to be able to come to the table and to be able to have a serious conversation,” Kerry said Tuesday before leaving Wednesday morning for Munich, CNN reported.

A senior State Department official told CNN that there is no “agreement on anything right now except that there needs to be a cease-fire.”

“All of the other details, the date, who would be party to it, have to be worked out,” the official said.

The U.S. hoped to have a ceasefire before the U.N.-led peace talks resume Feb. 25.
