MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The number of Syrian settlements that signed up to the US-Russia-brokered ceasefire has reached 71, the Russian Defense Ministry said Sunday.
"The cessation of hostilities in Syria has been respected in most of the Syrian provinces. However, a total of 11 violations of the ceasefire regime have been registered, including four in the Damascus province, three in the Aleppo province and two each in the Homs and Latakia provinces," the ministry said in a daily bulletin posted on its website.
A US-Russia-brokered ceasefire came into force across Syria on February 27. It was supported by Damascus, as well as by dozens of opposition groups on the ground. The Daesh and the al-Nusra Front terror groups, both outlawed in Russia, are not part of the deal.
