The Russian General Staff announced Monday that there would be an eight-hour humanitarian pause in Syria’s Aleppo on October 20.
"Russia now largely expects efforts from its partners on the Syrian reconciliation so that they pick up the baton, contribute to this humanitarian operation, contribute to criminals leaving Aleppo, especially its eastern part, and so that the actual process of separation of the so-called moderate opposition and terrorist groups were to begin," Peskov told reporters.
According to him, Russia is giving the United States another chance to implement its past agreements on Syria through this initiative.
"This humanitarian operation, which has been planned out by the Russian servicemen in full coordination of these actions with commander in chief [Russian President Vladimir] Putin, it is a great chance, yet again, a manifestation of goodwill for implementation of those actions which should have been implemented several weeks ago in accordance with the Russian-US deals," Peskov added.
