  1. “We believe that the only way to rebuild Syria is through the definitive elimination of terrorism, including in the de-escalation zone, and through the return of IDPs and refugees to their homes and the post-conflict reconstruction of the country.”

  2. “I want to underscore that the actions of the Russian Reconciliation Centre are strictly within the framework of the implementation of the Russian- Turkish memorandum to stabilize the situation in the Idlib de-escalation area and the agreements reached during the ongoing consultations with Turkey and Iran in the Astana format. All of the efforts of the Astana guarantors are aimed at implementing resolution 2254 (2015) in the interests of restoring normal life in Syria. However, I want to draw the Council's attention to the fact that any agreements on a cessation of hostilities cannot extend to the fight against terrorist organizations, wherever they are.”

  3. “Some 15,000 Syrians who have left the Rukban refugee camp, as well as the United Nations representatives who have been given the opportunity to speak with Syrian citizens returning to Homs and Hama governorates, have been able to see for themselves that the Syrian Government has created appropriate living conditions for its citizens. In general, the cooperation between the guarantor countries is enabling us to effectively counter international terrorist organizations on Syrian territory and keep the situation in the north-west under control. We would like to point to our Turkish colleagues' active efforts to support the ceasefire regime in the Idlib demilitarized zone.”

  4. “Since the crossing-point operation began, a total of more than 44,000 people have left the Idlib de-escalation zone, including more than 14,000 women and 20,000 children. According to our information, between 40,000 and 80,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) are ready to leave the de-escalation area right now. The required number of places have been prepared for them to be received in IDP centres in Hama, Horns and Deir ez- Zor governorates. The Syrian Government is ready to use all existing capacities to ensure the conditions necessary to enable the civilian population to return from the Idlib de-escalation area.”

  5. “Hundreds have been executed without trial or evidence. In View of the desperate humanitarian situation in the area, the Syrian Government, working with the Russian Reconciliation Centre and the support of the Syrian Arab Red Crescent, has been taking the necessary measures to enable the civilian population to make a decent, safe and voluntary departure from the Idlib de-escalation area. Specifically, the Abu Al-Duhur crossing point in Aleppo governorate was established on 4 March 2018. It can accommodate 1,100 people and 50 vehicles a day, although the movement of refugees through it has currently been suspended due to the serious threat of shelling by terrorists. An additional crossing point was set up at Suran on 27 May of this year that can admit 1,000 people and 50 vehicles a day.”

  6. “We categorically deny all the allegations about the indiscriminate nature of strikes by Government forces on targets in Idlib. We are sorry to have to say that anti-Syrian non-governmental organizations are deliberately disseminating this kind of false and unverified information, misleading the global community and thereby shielding Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham terrorists. Meanwhile, the Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham militias and other groups, whose activities are not properly comprehended by the international community, continue to execute captured Syrian soldiers and local civilians just as the terrorists of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant did in Palmyra and Raqqa. In the past two years, Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham fighters in the Idlib de-escalation zone have abducted at least 5,000 people, whose fate is unknown.”

  7. “At Russia's request, in May and June the Syrian Army twice established a ceasefire regime under the framework of those actions. However, a number of radical groups in the Idlib de-escalation area have continued to violate the ceasefire regime every time, firing on the Turkish armed forces' observer posts as well as on the Government forces' positions and on towns. We continue to see terrorists preparing to stage provocative actions in order to blame Government forces for allegedly using chemical weapons against them. We who are working here on the ground are constantly seeing a one-sided interpretation of events in the Idlib de-escalation area from a number of countries that blame Syria and Russia for escalating tensions while at the same time turning a blind eye to the atrocities of jihadists and their terrorist activity in the area.”

  8. “The jihadists have also repeatedly used multiple rocket launch systems to fire on Russia's Khmeimim air base, posing a genuine threat to the lives of Russian troops. The Russian Aerospace Forces have been forced to retaliate with precision strikes on firing positions, ammunition stockpiles and clusters of terrorists, but their fire has been directed only at known targets outside residential areas. The situation as a whole is under control thanks entirely to Russia and Turkey's joint coordinated actions, in accordance with the memorandum signed in Sochi on 17 September 2018 on the stabilization of the situation in the Idlib de-escalation area. In the quest for ways to resolve the problem of Idlib, we and the Turks have been working actively to come up with new measures and mutually acceptable solutions for stabilizing the situation.”

  9. “There have been 302 cases of shelling and armed provocations by militias, and Syrian soldiers and civilians have continued to die. On 17 June, 11 civilians were killed and 15 injured by mortar fire from Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham in the village of Kudeh, in Aleppo governorate. In response to the ongoing provocations by terrorists, the Government forces have been forced to take defensive action. According to objective information, illegal armed groups allied to Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham have been resisting the Syrian armed forces in all areas where there has been fighting, as well as members of the Caucasus Emirate, Haras Al-Din and the Turkistan Islamic Party. All those entities have been recognized as terrorist organizations by the Security Council.”

  10. “On 15 May, a mortar shell fired by Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham terrorists killed eight civilians, including two children, in the village of Al-Nayrab in Aleppo governorate. At the same time, between the end of April and the beginning of May, a significant number of Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham militias and groups allied to them concentrated near the cities of Hama and Aleppo. Radical groups attempted to enter the predominantly Christian cities of Al-Suqaylabiyah and Muhradah in Hama governorate. During the attack on the Government positions the terrorists used unmanned aerial vehicles, tanks, pickup trucks fitted with heavy- calibre machine guns, and suicide-bombing vehicles. There has been no decrease in the terrorist activity in the Idlib de-escalation zone in June.”

  11. “Militias from the Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham terrorist organization have united various terrorist groups under their leadership and have ramped up their attacks on Government positions and shelling of towns and villages. In April we recorded 169 violations of the ceasefire regime by illegal armed groups, with 41 Syrian soldiers killed and 74 wounded, while eight civilians died and 20 received injuries of varying degrees of seriousness. In May, 338 cases of shelling by militias were recorded, with 36 Syrian soldiers killed and 118 wounded, along with 24 civilians killed and 32 wounded. In particular, on 5 May five children and one woman were killed as a result of shelling by the Jaysh A1-Izza group with a multiple launch rocket system from the town of Al-Suqaylabiyah.”

  12. “Between 1,000 and 2,000 people are returning from Jordan and Lebanon every day, which testifies to the effectiveness of all the measures that have been taken. However, along with the positive results there are also problems. Despite the establishment of the cessation of hostilities regime, the situation in the Idlib de-escalation zone is complicated. Militias from some uncontrolled terrorist groups are currently refusing to observe the ceasefire regime in the Idlib zone and are actively obstructing Russia and Turkey's joint efforts to stabilize the situation in north-western Syria. The tensions in the zone have been spiralling once again since April.”

  13. “The Russian Centre for the Reconciliation of Opposing Sides and Refugee Migration Monitoring is focusing its main efforts in the Syrian Arab Republic on the non-military resolution of the conflict and on providing comprehensive assistance to Syrian citizens to return home and rebuild peaceful lives. Through joint efforts with the Syrian Government we have been able to achieve considerable improvement in the situation in those areas of work. The statistics for Syrian citizens returning home speaks for themselves. Since the beginning of 2019 alone more than 220,000 Syrian citizens have returned home, more than 30,000 of them internally displaced persons and more than 190,000 refugees from abroad. The majority of Syrians are returning from neighbouring States.”
