Tuesday's announcement came hours after Syria's Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem said that his government would accept Russia's plan.
"Syria welcomes the Russian proposal out of concern for the lives of the Syrian people," al-Moallem said.
A senior White House official said that the U.S. would work with its UN allies to "further explore the viability of the Russian plan," and any action could include a Security Council resolution.
