Only those who divide between "one's own" and "theirs" put all the responsibility on Damascus or Moscow for the humanitarian catastrophe due to the political course in Syrian Eastern Ghouta, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov underlined. At this, he added, for political powers it's absolutely non-important that one's own are actually terrorists, RIA Novosti informs.
Sergey Ryabkov has called for an action towards resolving the situation instead of claiming that UN Security Council resolution is not possible to realize.
UN Security Council resolution was approved last week. The document
orders “to cease hostilities without delay for at least 30 consecutive days, ensuring a “durable humanitarian pause” to enable weekly humanitarian aid deliveries and medical evacuations of the critically sick and wounded.” At this, the truce doesn't extend to terroristic organisations.
As we informed before, Russian Ministry of Defence ordered daily truce from 9am to14 pm for evacuations from Eastern Ghouta.
Russian Defense Ministry informed that civilians suffer in regions controlled by the Western coalition. Russian MOD representative Igor Konashenkov reminded that the “black hall” was created after the West claimed to clean Raqqa from terrorists. Neither Syrian authorities, nor international monitors were not allowed access to the city.
Apart of that the rebels are holding civilians as hostages in the Qurban refugee camp located in US-controlled zone. So-called Raqqa liberators “don't see” humanitarian catastrophe in this city.
Konashenkov marked that the situation is opposite in Aleppo liberated by Syrian army with a help of Russians. Everyone can come there and see reconstruction works are fully under way. US and its coalition partners have destroyed about 80% homes and the public infrastructure in Raqqa, and Washington is not going to help with reconstruction.
The head of the Russian peace and reconciliation center in Syria, Major-General Yuri Yevtushenko, called the leaders of the rebel groups in Eastern Ghouta to cease the fire and let civilians out. The day before people couldn't use the humanitarian corridor because of the shelling.
