According to the deal, military action, including airstrikes conducted by Syria, Russia and the US-led coalition will continue against Daesh, al-Nusra Front, as well as other UN-designated terrorist groups.
"In accordance with the Russian-US February 22 agreement on the cessation of hostilities in Syria, for the implementation of mechanism to monitor compliance with the ceasefire regime, a coordination center for reconciliation of the warring parties was created and started operations at the Russian airbase Hmeymim on the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic," spokesman Maj.
