[ Editor’s Note: The US coalition did all it could to bring the East Ghouta terrorists under the ceasefire so they could be rested and resupplied so they could continue to shell Damascus’ 5 million people and tie up a lot of Syrian troops defending the city.
But Syria and Russia held fast that there would be no ceasefire for the terrorist friends of the US coalition. Damascus seems to have stalled its Idlib clearing offensive to shift troop into the battle to finally clear this East Ghouta pocket before heading north again, which makes sense.
With the Turkish operation going slowly, the race will be on to clear Ghouta and then shift those Syrian assets to the northern part of the country where the Idlib, Turkish, Kurdish threats are the most serious … Jim W. Dean ]

In the wake of the adoption of a UN resolution establishing a 30-day truce throughout Syria, Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed the state of affairs in Syria’s East Ghouta region with France’s President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the humanitarian situation in the region has recently rapidly deteriorated.
During the phone conversation between the leaders, the situation in East Ghouta and problems of providing humanitarian access to this and other regions of Syria were discussed, according to the Kremlin’s press service.
“Special attention was given to the fact that the cessation of military activity does not apply to the operations against terrorist groups,” the Kremlin said.
The sides also commended the results of “joint, constructive work,” that allowed the adoption of the UN Security Council’s Resolution 2401 on February 24, while the leaders also “noted the importance of continuing joint efforts to achieve the full and speedy implementation of the resolution’s provisions,” according to the statement.
Germany and France are still ready to cooperate with Russia and other international partners for this purpose,” the press release read.
Putin has informed the foreign leaders of the steps that Russia is taking in Syria to evacuate civilians, deliver aid supplies and provide medical help to the injured.
“An agreement has been reached on the invigoration of information exchange on the situation in Syria through various channels,” the Kremlin’s statement read.
Earlier in the day, Iran echoed Russia’s stance and supported the provision of the resolution, which says that the truce in Syria does not cover terrorists in Eastern Ghouta, adding that militants would continue to be targeted by the Syrian army.
The telephone conversation comes after February 24, when the UN Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution introducing a 30-day truce on the whole Syrian territory to ensure the safely of humanitarian aid and the medical evacuation of those injured. However, the ceasefire regime does not cover military operations against Daesh, al-Qaeda, and Jabhat Fatah al Sham (formerly known as al-Nusra Front) terrorist groups.
The humanitarian situation in the suburb east of the Syrian capital, has drastically deteriorated since February 18, when Syrian government forces launched an operation codenamed “Damascus Steel,” in a bid to clear the region of militants.
According to the Russian military, the terrorist groups in the region are purposely struggling to escalate the situation in East Ghouta, preventing civilians from leaving the area and provoking retaliatory fights against the Syrian government.

Russia was invaded by Hitler´s army, defended against the invasion, subsequently joined “allied forces” against the Hitler-NAZI forces. Two months ago Anonymous News revealed that the German Criminal Police agency had carefully reclassified six hundred thousand (600,000) civil violations by the “rapefugees”, 2015-2016, to cover up their lawlessness. A six-yr old was recently raped by a rapefugee, who was sentenced to “probation”, no time in jail. A German man would have been imprisoned. Such is the Merkel-Maas pollution of German society.
– the zionazi component maintains the “support the party” propaganda. Also, suppression of contrary opinion approaches 1935 intensity, essentially maintained by the current “owners” of the internet. Comrade Merkel re-shuffled her cabinet last week, removing members who supported accuracy. Potentially serious leaders of opposition to Merkel-Maas are immediately, personally and professionally defamed publicly, and their groups are infiltrated by subterfuge moles. The deep state is not limited to CONUS.
Suddenly tons of images of injured children from Syria, but still nothing from Afghanistan.
Imagery of convenience is fully integrated as a weapon into 21rst century adjunct military tactical response teams known as “journalism”.
The zionazi subterfuge against president Assad is continued by the current owners of the internet “social media”. The MSM consists of six huge companies that control 96% of western world media, as reported by tapnewswire.com. The six companies are owned-controlled by the constituency of the religion of Judaism.
Ma Merkel and these 30 day cease fires, why not a permanent solution, Is DC spreading money and influence around the UN.
The zionazi of DC are only one component of the western world zionazi organization.
