皇冠体育app Foreign Secretary said:

I am deeply concerned by the continued military campaign against the civilians of Eastern Ghouta and credible reports that Russian aircraft are actively participating alongside the Asad regime, contrary to the Security Council鈥檚 demand in UNSCR 2401 for a 30-day ceasefire in Syria. 皇冠体育app areas suffering from bombardments are civilian populated areas.

皇冠体育appre are reports of a death toll of more than 600 civilians in the last two weeks, including 200 airstrikes and over 100 killed since Russia voted in favour of the ceasefire. All this in an area that, lest we forget, Russia itself announced as a de-escalation zone through the Astana Process.

皇冠体育app main Opposition armed groups on the ground are involved in the UN-led Geneva process and Russia鈥檚 own Astana process and have clearly committed to full implementation of the UNSCR. 皇冠体育appse groups are not terrorists 鈥� they support a negotiated political solution to the crisis in Syria. Having voted for UNSCR 2401 less than a week ago, Russia has a responsibility to ensure implementation of the ceasefire.

皇冠体育app people of Eastern Ghouta have endured enough, among broken promises of ceasefires and humanitarian pauses. We demand that Russia and the regime cease hostilities immediately and ensure the sustained delivery of humanitarian aid to Eastern Ghouta and medical evacuations, as called for by the UN Human Rights Council this morning in a UK-proposed Resolution. 皇冠体育app people of Eastern Ghouta can wait no longer.
