Russia says it has halted airstrikes against some militant groups in Syria in line with the international ceasefire that came into force on Saturday. On Friday and only hours before the implementation of the truce, the United Nations Security Council adopted a resolution to endorse the ceasefire, which was brokered by the United States and Russia. Our correspondent in Moscow Marina Kortonova has attended a briefing at the Russian Defense Ministry and sent us this report.
