And the Russian “Sputnik” agency had revealed a Russian initiative that was put forward on Wednesday afternoon, as a last attempt for peaceful solutions to stop the escalation in Daraa governorate, talking about stopping military operations by Assad’s forces and militias in response to the aforementioned initiative, at a time when no official statement was issued by the concerned authorities about Daraa for reaching any agreement or initiative.

The sources pointed out that Russia’s proposal includes setting up a mechanism for a peaceful solution to the file of “armed men holed up” in the neighborhood (Daraa al-Balad), according to a specific timetable, and the Russian proposal is divided into several items and points, including the commitment of fighters in (Daraa al-Balad neighborhood) to hand over their weapons to the Assad regime inn compliance with the terms of the reconciliation agreement held under the auspices of Russia in 2018.

The Russian initiative also includes the exit of those who reject the agreement to the areas of northwest Syria, in addition to other technical provisions that guarantee the return of safety and stability to the neighborhood controlled by these factions.
