Syria has been devastated by years of violent civil war that has prompted millions to flee hostilities to other locations within the country or abroad.

The international community has taken efforts to settle the conflict by conducting political settlement talks in Geneva. The Astana talks have been also an important part of international efforts aimed to settle the conflict in Syria. It is during the Astana talks that the memorandum on the creation of de-escalation zones in Syria was signed in 2017.

Russia, alongside Turkey and Iran, is a guarantor of the ceasefire regime in Syria. Moscow has also been assisting Damascus through supporting the struggle against terrorist groups, providing humanitarian aid to local residents and facilitating the return of refugees.
