The fourth round of UN-backed intra-Syrian talks between the government and opposition factions kicked off in Geneva last week.
Since 2011, Syria has been engulfed in a civil war, with government forces fighting against numerous opposition and terrorist groups, including al-Nusra Front and Daesh, banned in a range of countries, including Russia.
