  UNITED NATIONS, Sept 15 (Reuters) - Russia is pushing for the United Nations Security Council to adopt a draft resolution next week endorsing a Syria ceasefire deal agreed by Moscow and Washington, Russia's U.N. Ambassador Vitaly Churkin said on Thursday.
  Churkin said Russia was working on a draft Security Council resolution that would endorse the deal. When asked if the deal would need to be annexed to such a resolution, he said: "We don't know yet."
  "We're working on it ... I think we need to adopt it on the 21st (of September), this would make sense," Churkin told reporters.
