On June 7, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced that experts from Russia, the United States and Jordan agreed on a memorandum on the establishment of a de-escalation zone in Syria's southwestern Daraa, Quneitra and Suwayda provinces, after the first face-to-face meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump. The ceasefire started at 09:00 GMT on Sunday. The United States and Russia have committed themselves to ensuring the implementation of the ceasefire.

Syria has been devastated by civil war for more than six years now, with government forces fighting opposition factions, including terrorist groups such as the Daesh and the Nusra Front, both of which are outlawed in Russia. Alongside Russia, Iran and Turkey are the other guarantors of the Syrian ceasefire regime, having signed a memorandum on the establishment of four safe zones in Syria that came into force on May 6.
