US and Russia Exchange Allegations of Ceasefire Violations

What to Expect from New Cessation of Hostilities in Syria

“US-backed militants not abiding by Syria truce”

In the media leaked the details of the agreement the United States and Russia on Syria – Colonel Cassad

…………. It is understandable why the US is not eager to make it public, because at first they would have exposed the forced need to coordinate with Russia that earlier at the White House and the State Department was considered unacceptable (if you remember, Shoigu and Lavrov last year offered US to conduct joint activities in Syria and the Pentagon and the State Department sent the proposals far and straight, but as we see, the situation over the past few months has changed dramatically – now the United States was forced to go to such coordination and to hide this inconvenient with their point of view, the fact), as well as liabilities related to the bombing of groups which previously received US weapons and now works closely with the United States controlled groups, which are also closely intertwined in various parts of Syria. In the United States seems very Trump rejoice this leak, as the Democrats campaign is based on the accusation Trump indulging in Russia, and now it turns out, Obama is the obvious concessions and still trying to hide them from the public concerned.

It is worth remembering that the current line of the administration of the White House and the State Department has not previously been criticized (including officially) by the Pentagon and the CIA, who insist on a tougher line against Assad and Russia. So it is possible that the information leaked “the hawks” in the Pentagon and Republicans dissatisfied with Obama’s policies.

Russia of course takes this uncomfortable situation to Obama, who do not give quietly see out the last few months and offer to publish that hit and the Obama administration and the Clinton campaign, as the foreign policy of democracy in the Middle East once again appear weak, compromising and inconsistent. There certainly is interesting, whether there is a Russian-American agreements in something else, but even in this form of the agreement between the Russian Federation and the United States look like a series of apparent concessions from the White House.

‘Syrian rebels using ceasefire to gain better battlefield positions’ – fmr Pentagon official

Russia, US accuse each other of ceasefire violations in Syria

Syria ceasefire deal in balance as Aleppo aid plan stalls

https://www.yahoo.com/news/syria-ceasefire-deal-balance-aleppo-aid-stalls-125326539.htm

Russia said the Syrian army had begun to withdraw from a road into Aleppo on Thursday, a prerequisite for pressing ahead with international peacemaking efforts as the government and rebels accused each other of violating a truce. An organization that monitors the war also said the Syrian army had begun moving away, but insurgent groups in Aleppo said they had not seen the army withdrawing from the Castello Road, needed to allow aid deliveries into the city, and would not pull back from their own positions near the road until they did. The Pentagon said it could not confirm reports of a withdrawal but U.S. State Department spokesman Mark Toner said the ceasefire was holding “by and large”, adding both Washington and Moscow believed it was worth continuing.

But there were growing accusations of violations by each side, with a Syrian military source saying the rebels were responsible for dozens of breaches including gun, rocket and mortar fire in Damascus, Aleppo, Hama, Homs and Latakia. The rebels said Syrian army jets had struck in Hama and Idlib, and used artillery near Damascus. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a British-based war monitor, said it had documented attacks by both sides, and that despite widespread calm between rebels and the army, the first civilians had been killed since the truce began on Monday. Two civilians killed on Thursday were children in government-held areas, one in Aleppo and the other in Syria’s southwest, it said. In addition, air strikes against Islamic State militants in the town of al-Mayadin near Deir al-Zor had killed at least 23 civilians, it said.

Control of the Castello Road is divided between the government and rebels who have been battling to topple President Bashar al-Assad for more than five years. It has been a major frontline in the war. “The Syrian army … began the staged withdrawal of vehicles and personnel from the Castello Road to ensure the unimpeded delivery of aid to eastern Aleppo,” said Lieutenant-General Vladimir Savchenko, head of the Russian Reconciliation Centre in Syria in remarks broadcast on state television. The Observatory said the army had started to withdraw from positions on the road, but that Russian troops, whose air force has helped Damascus blockade rebel-held Aleppo, had replaced it.

An official in an Aleppo-based Syrian rebel group said late on Thursday the army had not pulled back. “There is no withdrawal by the regime from the Castello Road,” Zakaria Malahifji, of the Aleppo-based rebel group Fastaqim, told Reuters.

U.N. WAITS FOR PERMITS

The U.N. Syria envoy Staffan de Mistura said the United States and Russia were expected to manage the disengagement of forces from the road, but criticized Damascus for failing to provide permits needed to make aid deliveries to other areas. The U.N. humanitarian adviser Jan Egeland said both the rebels and the government were responsible for delaying aid deliveries into Aleppo. “The reason we’re not in eastern Aleppo has again been a combination of very difficult and detailed discussions around security monitoring and passage of roadblocks, which is both opposition and government,” he said.

    Aleppo

    The Syrian Army started withdrawal of heavy military equipment to create a demilitarized zone along the Castillo road in Aleppo province, a senior member of the Russian General Staff stated on Thursday.

    “The Syrian government troops have stopped firing and begun to withdraw their tanks, IFV and artillery to a set distance to create the demilitarized zone,” said Lt. Gen. Viktor Poznikhir, first deputy chief of the Russian General Staff’s main operational department.

    “The Russian Aerospace Force and the Syrian Air Force have stopped airstrikes on areas where opposition units may be located,” Poznikhir told reporters.

    “The Russian side is completely fulfilling its obligations under the ceasefire agreement. A checkpoint created on Castillo Road has been handed over to the Red Crescent Society. The people’s self-defense units ‘Bustan’ and ‘Shield’ are defending the checkpoint,” Poznikhir said.

    He added that the Russian Defense Ministry has no information related to similar actions by militant groups controlled by the US.

    Quneitra

    Syrian Army deployed a massive convoy of reinforcements from the Sweida province to the Golan Heights after the militants mobilized more forces to launch multiple offensives in the border region.

    According to a Syrian army source, the convoy that arrived in Golan Heights was made up of forces from the National Defense Forces (NDF), Syrian Social Nationalist Party (SSNP), Druze fighters of Jaysh Al-Muwahiddeen, and the 5th Armored Division of Syrian Army.

    Most of the non-army reinforcements are volunteers from the Sweida province that traveled to the Golan Heights to protect their people from the militants.

    The militant groups suffered heavy losses in the Golan Heights after they launched three failed assaults to capture government-controlled villages in Quneitra.

    “The army troops and popular forces fended off several terrorist attacks in Quneitra in Southwestern Syria in the last several days, inflicting heavy causalities on the terrorists,” the army said.

    Based on reports, more than 65 terrorists, including top commanders, were killed and tens of other were wounded after pro-government forces repelled their attacks.

    Hama
