According to the statement, the Syrian capital of Damascus was shelled six times on Saturday morning from the regions of eastern Ghuta and Jobar, where the so-called "moderate opposition" is stationed.
"The Syrian government troops did not return fire, upon the request of the Russian center on reconciliation," the statement read.
A ceasefire between Syrian government and rebel forces that entered its second day is largely holding, the head of Russia's ceasefire monitoring center at the Hmeymim airbase in Latakia said Sunday.
On Wednesday, Russian servicemen started their work at a coordination center for reconciliation in Syria's Latakia province at the Hmeymim airbase.
Russia and the United States reached an agreement on the ceasefire in Syria on February 22. The ceasefire took effect at midnight on Saturday Damascus time (22:00 GMT on Friday).
The UN Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 2268 endorsing the Russia-US agreement on the cessation of hostilities in Syria on Friday, shortly before the ceasefire came into force. The cessation of hostilities does not apply to designated terrorist organizations operating in Syria, including Daesh and the Nusra Front, a terrorist group affiliated with al-Qaeda.
Russia and Syria play by the rules. America and the zionist-neocons and their murderous slime-stooge terrorists never do. And that is why these scumbags win in the end, sadly enough.
Look at Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Yemen, Ukraine, etc., etc. Consider the immeasurable carnage and destruction inflicted upon these hapless peoples. And all of it flagrant violations of international law, and seemingly with no justice whatsoever in the future to be had for any of them. Uncle Shmuel, the butt-puppet of Israel and the zionist-neocons, gets away with committing and supporting open murder and destruction again and again. With complete impunity.
Playing by the rules is a terrible handicap that gets in the way when confronted with murderous liars and cheating, thieving scumbags, such as America, NAZO and the West.
And in the process, innocents the world over suffer horrors beyond our imaginings.
Think about being abducted, beaten and raped ceaselessly, as so many Yazidi girls have been. And ALL because the zionist-neocons have a satanically-inspired plan, the Yinon Plan, to Balkanize and destroy the Middle East to serve the interests of a 'shitty little country' that should NEVER have existed in the first place. This odious 'Plan' looks at the lives of millions of innocents all across the Middle East as literally worthless and of absolutely no concern or consequence, no matter what horrors are inflicted upon them. This is the definition of pure, unadulterated evil.
In far too many ways, Israel truly is the living embodiment of the 'Synagogue of Satan'.
Placed in the ridiculously silly biblical context of 'Revelations', one could argue that Putin is not 'Gog' but the opposite, while Netanyahu clearly could be conceived of as Gog, the evil one. And Israel the real Magog, a place of sin and devil worship that seeks to destroy that which is good in the world.
Yes, one could certainly argue that Netanyahu's Israel is the 'Sin-o-Gog' that needs to be razed to the ground and salt scattered over the ashes thereof, so that the world may finally have a chance to live in peace......
Syria truly is a battleground between forces of light and darkness.
(Let's hope the good guys win for once.)
