“Moscow insists on the need of uncompromising fight against terrorists and those who together with them violate the ceasefire regime, in particular such odious extremist armed groups as Ahrar ash-Sham and Jaysh al-Islam,” Zakharova told reporters.
She called for strictly abiding by the cessation of hostilities agreement, pointing out that the main reason behind the current escalation in Aleppo is the provocations of terrorists who attempt to disrupt the agreement which came into force on February 27.
The Russian diplomat said that Russia is exerting immense efforts to consolidate the truce in Aleppo city.
- Zakharova pointed out that the so called “moderate opposition” is using the same methods of terrorists in Aleppo where they are shelling residential neighborhoods with shells and rockets to kill and intimidate the locals, adding that terrorists of al-Nusra are exploiting this “moderate opposition” which is supported by US to launch new bloody attacks.
Zakharova noted that Jabhat al-Nusra is trying to make up for their losses in Aleppo, adding that new fighters and weapons are entering Syria via the Turkish-Syrian border.
She also called on the international and regional powers that have influence on the armed groups in Syria to pressure their agents to distance themselves from ISIS and Jabhat al-Nusra and to strictly commit to the truce.
Zakharova pointed out that some media reports about what is happening in Aleppo are biased and based on unreliable sources which she said are blaming the Syrian government for the escalation on the ground.
- Peskov calls for supporting the implementation of truce in Aleppo city in parallel with combating terrorism
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called for supporting the implementation of truce in Aleppo city in parallel with continuing to combat terrorism.
- In a statement to journalists on Friday, Peskov said that “We should differentiate between combating terrorism and truce. Offensive operations against terrorists will continue. No one is saying that the war on terror will end. The truce is a different matter and any act which may harm the current prevailing truce must be avoided.”
He indicated the Russian leadership’s constant contact with its Syrian counterpart to discuss developments related to the cessation of hostilities agreement and ensuring its implementation.
- Peskov said that Russia has always adopted a very responsible attitude towards the “fragile” truce in Syria, calling upon all parties to do the same.
- He denounced claims of Russian airstrikes targeting civilians as “misleading”, noting that the Russian Defense Ministry has all information related to the timing and the sorties carried out within the framework of the war on terror in Syria.
On Wednesday, the Syrian General Command of the Army and Armed Forces announced that a truce will be applied in Aleppo for 48 hours as of 1 A.M. on Thursday May 5th, 2016. Immediately, the terrorist groups breached the truce and targeted residential neighborhoods in the city with rocket shells.
Yesterday Peskov described the truce in Aleppo as “fragile” due to the complicated situation on the ground and the mixtures of terrorist groups, expressing hope for better solutions which Russia and the U.S. are currently working on.
Earlier, the Russian Defense Ministry revealed that groups affiliated to the so-called “armed opposition” have joined Jabhat al-Nusra terrorist organization in Aleppo city.
