Syria has been mired in civil war since 2011, with government forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad fighting numerous opposition factions and extremist groups.

A US-Russia-brokered ceasefire agreement came into force across Syria on February 27. The deal does not apply to terrorist groups such as Daesh and al-Nusra Front, both of which are outlawed in Russia and a range of other states.

The Russian Defense Ministry said on Thursday that the number of settlements that have joined the ceasefire regime in Syria has increased to 100 while the number of armed groups that have agreed to stop hostilities has grown to 58.
