Russia FM: Syrian army backed by Russian planes unblocked Aleppo from east

 The Syrian army backed by Russian warplanes unblocked Aleppo from the east, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said after the talks on Syria settlement in Munich.

The minister stressed that Russia would carry on with its air military operations against terrorists  as they are not subject to truce in Syria.

"It is stated in our documents - and we talked about it - that ceasefire will not include Islamic State, Jebhat al-Nusra and other affiliated organizations that were recognized as terrorist by UN Security Council. That is why our Aerospace Defense Forces will carry on their operation against these organizations," Lavrov said after the meeting of International Syria Support Group at the Munich Security Conference.
