Rooshuns delay airstrikes in Aleppo
Russia on Monday said its air force was continuing to hold off on strikes in eastern Aleppo, after terrorists snubbed Moscow’s offer to quit Syria’s second city.“The ceasefire in the operation of the Russian air force is continuing,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists. Peskov said that the decision by Putin to keep holding fire remained dependent on terrorists in the city refraining from any concerted attacks on government-held territory. “If the terrorists don’t resort to offensive actions, to a campaign of aggression, then the president considered it expedient for now to continue the regime, under which the Russian air force does not strike eastern Aleppo,” he said.
