Russia has now handed over to the US its plans for making Syria's chemical weapons safe, Russian media say.
Russia announced its plans for placing Syria's stockpile under international control on Monday and Syria said it welcomed the initiative.
The proposal led US President Barack Obama to put military action against Syria on hold in favour of diplomacy.
Tense negotiations will now follow at the United Nations on the nature of any Security Council resolution.
More than 100,000 people have died since the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad began in 2011.
In other developments:
- On the ground, the army is trying to retake the Christian town of Maaloula. The BBC's Jeremy Bowen, at the scene, says heavy fighting is continuing. Maaloula was overrun by rebel forces, including members of the al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front, at the weekend
- The latest report by UN rights experts, released on Wednesday, says torture and rape are widespread and war crimes are being committed by both sides.
