A nationwide ceasefire between Syrian government troops and several opposition factions came into being at midnight local time on Friday (22:00 GMT on Thursday). Russia and Turkey serve as guarantors of the deal which paves the way for negotiations between the warring parties.
The Jabhat Fatah al-Sham and Daesh terrorist groups, which have been outlawed in Russia, are not part of the ceasefire deal.
