MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Earlier in the day, a source told Sputnik that Russia and the United States had agreed to introduce state of cessation of hostilities in northern Latakia province and suburbs of Damascus in Syria from midnight on April 30.
Following the announcement, media reports emerged claiming that Aleppo would also be involved in the regime, but were refuted by a different source.
"No one has been in contact with us officially. Perhaps there are some communication channels, but unofficial. We will not be ready to adhere to the silence regime in Syria while airstrikes are being carried out against civilians in Aleppo. Excluding Aleppo from the silence regime is very dangerous," Zeid said.
The Syrian General Staff has already confirmed that the 'silent' period has been implemented and that it will be in force for 24 hours in Damascus and its suburbs, and in Latakia and its suburbs for 72 hours.
