“The renewed military offensive of the Syrian regime and its supporters in Idlib, which entailed great human suffering, is unacceptable. The EU calls on all parties to immediately cease hostilities, ”TASS quotes from the statement.

Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that the support of Turkish militants in Syrian Idlib could lead to further escalation of the conflict.

After the terrorist attack on the SAR army, which led to a breakthrough in the defense of the Syrian government forces, the Russian air forces struck the militants' equipment.

Russia called on the Turkish side to stop incidents to stop supporting militants and transferring weapons to them.

Later, negotiations were reported on between Russian President Vladimir Putin, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French leader Emmanuel Macron over the aggravation of the situation in Syrian Idlib.
