Yesterday, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan met to talk about Turkey's invasion of northern Syria and reached a deal that included creating a so-called "terror-free security zone" in the area. Russia was also clear in supporting Turkey's offensive, which happened after US troops were withdrawn from northeastern Syria.

US President Donald Trump tweeted earlier on Wednesday: "Great success at the Turkish-Syrian border. Safe zone created! The ceasefire has been held and fighting has ended. Kurds are safe and have worked very well with us. IS prisoners secured. "

He also announced that he would make a statement during the day.
