The UN Security Council has unanimously approved a resolution demanding a 30–day ceasefire in Syria to allow aid deliveries and medical evacuations.
Merkel’s office said that she and French President Emmanuel Macron discussed the situation in a phone call with Putin.
she said they called on Russia to “exert maximum pressure on the Syrian regime to achieve an immediate halt to the airstrikes and fighting.”
