Russia hopes the “silent” period in the Syrian city of Aleppo will hold despite the ceasefire being potentially fragile since the opposition and terrorist organizations are interlinked in the region, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Thursday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – On Wednesday, the United States and Russia agreed to extend the 'silent' period to Syria's Aleppo province.

“One always wants to hope for the better. This is specifically what both the Russian side and most likely our American colleagues want, but at the same time the fact that terrorists and representatives of the opposition are interlinked contributes to a potentially very fragile situation,” Peskov told journalists.
