"We reached an understanding with the United States on a draft resolution," Lavrov told reporters at the Security Council.
He gave no details on the contents of the draft agreement.
The US and Russia are expected to submit the resolution to the full 15-member Security Council. A meeting in New York has been called for 8 p.m. local time.
