Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSyria’s government agrees to a ceasefire in rebel-held Eastern Ghouta, following days of heavy bombardment, the United Nations envoy to the war-ravaged country says.
“Russia has proposed and the government has accepted a ceasefire in Eastern Ghouta,” Staffan de Mistura tells reporters in Geneva, where an eighth round of peace talks aimed at ending the Syrian conflict was getting underway.
De Mistura says he learned of the proposal from a Russian envoy during a meeting of ambassadors from Security Council permanent representatives — Britain, France, China, Russia and the United States — earlier today.
