Russia has revealed it warned the US about "red lines" it should not cross before it launched airstrikes on Syria.
Foreign minister Sergei Lavrov is reported to have said that officials in Washington were contacted before last weekend's strikes by the US, UK and France.
Mr Lavrov said: "There were military leadership contacts, between generals, between our representatives and the coalition leadership.
"They were informed about where our red lines are, including red lines on the ground, geographically. And the results show that they did not cross these red lines."
Some 105 missiles were launched in response to a suspected chemical attack in the Syrian city of Douma on 7 April that killed more than 40 people.
The Kremlin had threatened retaliatory action if strikes were launched - but it now appears there was at least some level of cooperation.
Russia, a key ally of Syria, has denied that any chemical attack took place.
