Russia has violated an agreement that it would not advance toward southern Syria since the area had already been designated as a safe zone, the Y Net News quoted the US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as saying Tuesday
"We had an agreement with the Russians that they would not move in the south. There was a de-escalation zone that the Russians had agreed to. They now have clearly violated that," Pompeo said this in an interview with Sky News in Arabic. He also added that the US government is interested in reaching a political agreement regrading Syria.
Assad regime backed by Russian air force and Iranian militias waged a fierce military campaign on the province of Daraa, the cradle of revolt, which resulted in killing dozens of civilians, and displacing more than 320,000.
It should be noted that the opposition factions in Daraa concluded an agreement with Russia, last week, which states handing over the heavy weapons of the rebels, in addition to surrender the Nasib border crossing to the Russian police under civil administration.
