The agreements on functioning of Eastern Ghouta de-escalation zone in Syria have been signed, the Russian Ministry of Defense said on Saturday.
The agreements, which were signed in Cairo, Egypt,
define borders of the de-escalation zone and locations of control powers, according to the statement.
"These documents define the borders of the de-escalation zone, the deployment sites and powers of the de-escalation control forces, as well as the routes for delivering humanitarian aid and clear passage to the population," the ministry said.
The ministry noted that the first humanitarian convoy to the Eastern Ghouta de-escalation zone is expected in nearest time. It will be followed by the evacuation of wounded civilians for East Ghouta.
The documents have been signed in the development of the Astana agreements
with the mediation of the Egyptian side, it added.
Comment: The Syrian Army announced the ceasefire today, which took effect
at noon local time. The leader of the terrorist group Jaysh al-Islam (Saudi-backed)
confirmed their participation in the agreement. But the "Al-Rahman Legion" (Qatari-backed)
refused to sign up.
