The U.S. has expressed its concerns about the continuation of the bombing by Syrian government and Russian forces on Idleb and its surroundings in northwest Syria, where Turkish-backed Syrian armed factions assume control.
“The U.S. is deeply concerned with the intensification in airstrikes and shelling in northern Syria in recent months, leading to dozens of civilian casualties and displacements,” the U.S. Embassy said.
“We call on all sides to respect the ceasefire, protect civilian populations, and work toward a political resolution to the conflict as outlined by UN resolution 2254.”
