Russia and the United States are working together to eliminate any violations of the yet unstable and fragile ceasefire in Syria, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Monday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Russia and the United States reached an agreement on the ceasefire regime in Syria on February 22. The truce excluded terrorist groups Daesh and al-Nusra Front.

"Any violation is certainly dangerous for the yet unstable and fragile ceasefire [in Syria], therefore, of course, Russia has consistently been working to minimize and subsequently eliminate any violations, and has been doing it, as you know, together with the United States of America within the framework of existing mechanisms," Peskov said.

"The ceasefire regime is generally holding in the majority of the provinces in the Syrian Arab Republic. Over the past 24 hours, five violations of truce have been registered (four in the Latakia province and one in Hama)."

A total of 60 settlements have joined the ceasefire regime in Syria, the Russian reconciliation center added.
