Experts, in turn, believe that in reality, such a cease-fire is unlikely to last a day, especially since it is Turkey that supports terrorists, which impede the restoration of peaceful life in the territory of the Arab Republic.

Militants attempted to storm Serakib

The terrorists attempted to storm the city of Serakib, where the Russian military is stationed. The incident occurred almost immediately after the start of negotiations between the Russian and Turkish sides, which indicates the fact that this Syrian city could well become the reason for the Turkish bidding.

Nevertheless, the attack of the militants was successfully suppressed, however, given the importance of Serakib, due to the location of the city at the intersection of the M4 and M5 highways, experts believe that it is a key target of the militants and the Turkish army.
