Putin told about details of cooperation with the US proposals for a ceasefire in Syria

Moderate or not it it will depend on Putin and Assad, so combat in Aleppo and Turkish border will continued as usual.  

The only true "moderate opposition" are YPG and FSA factions who closely side with them.

Media: Bashar al-Assad has called for parliamentary elections in Syria on 13 April

Probably the West will say "fraud", "fraud", like they did in Russia.

"I hope that the agreement on cessation of violence, if adequately implemented, will allow as soon as possible to resume serious political negotiations. These negotiations should lead to a political transition in Syria from Assad's regime to the government in Damascus, which will represent all Syrians," reads the statement.

The Syrian government has accepted the terms of a ceasefire deal announced by the US and Russia, a foreign ministry source said, as cited by Sana news agency. But Damascus wants the fight against terrorists such as Islamic State to continue.

The source added that Syrian authorities would coordinate with Russia to decide which groups and areas would be included in the "cessation of hostilities" plan.

Syria said that it was important to seal the borders and halt foreign support for armed groups, as well as to prevent "these organizations from strengthening their capabilities or changing their positions, in order to avoid… wrecking this agreement," according to the source.

The source added that Syria “affirms readiness to continue to coordinate with the Russian side to identify the areas and armed groups that are to be included in the ceasefire during the period it is in effect.”

Syria said that it was important to seal the borders and halt foreign support for armed groups, as well as to prevent “these organizations from boosting their capabilities or changing their positions as to avoid anything that may undermine this agreement,” according to the source.

Damascus announced its acceptance of a halt to combat operations on the basis of continuing military efforts to combat terrorism – against Daesh [an Arabic acronym for Islamic State], the Nusra Front, and the other terrorist organizations linked to it and to Al Qaeda, according to the Russian-US plan.

Turkey said it welcomed the ceasefire plans, adding, however, that it is not optimistic about a positive outcome of the talks on a political transition, Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus said, as cited by Reuters.

On Monday, Russia and the US adopted “Terms for a Cessation of Hostilities in Syria” and proposed that a ceasefire start on Saturday, February 26 at midnight Damascus time.

According to the statement, the truce will “be applied to [all] those parties to the Syrian conflict that have indicated their commitment” to accept its terms. It will exclude Islamic State, the Nusra Front and “other terrorist organizations designated by the UN Security Council.”

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
there is something wrong with SAA..
===============================================

If SAA focus on Dayr Hafir and captures it , so they can extend the safe area around the airport of Shekh Ahmed, this air port can be used to transfer rapid supplies and troops to Aleppo area.

What's the use of Shayrat airbase with helis and they basically lost Khanasser. This whole war is a joke, basically a staged war.

Yet ISIS, Al-Nusra and pals consistently manage blitzkrieg's and break Syrian defence lines in hours - and all this w/o any special forces, air support, heavy artillery, armour, etc...

Seriously, the SAA or the NDF or whoever it is - is a massive liability.

FREE SYRIAN ARMY WILL NOT GO TO A TRUCE WITH THE GOVERNMENT WITHOUT PARTICIPATION OF "DZHEBHAT EN-NUSRA" IN THIS PROCESS — THE COMMANDER

They don't have the guts to do so. Erdogan attempted to bite once and now we now what was the results.

After all, Soyuz, Proton, ISS, titanium parts, oil drillers... no Western countries can live w/o these.

There is a poorly-supported report that the US airlifted 'senior DAESH leaders' from near Fallujah to parts unknown. The supposed airlift is not definitely dated, but it appears to have taken place on Sunday (21 Feb). The description of the 'senior DAESH leaders' is not expanded on. Assuming the report is valid, they could be actual DAESH members, foreign intelligence service operators, mercenaries or US/NATO Special Forces. The movement coincides nicely with the coordinated ISIS/FSA attack against the Khanasser - Aleppo Road. However, this is all speculation, unless RuAF sigint has info on such helicopter flights.
