    Russia: Syria safe zones to be shut for U.S., coalition planes - agencies

    Russia says U.S. coalition forbidden from operating in planned Syria safe zones

    BTW...these Russian proposed safe zones are the Russian way of "freezing the conflict"...just as they did in eastern Ukraine and Transnistria or Georgia....

    BUT WAIT......
    Neither #Syria’s opposition nor the #Assad regime agreed to sign or attend the signing of the #Astana “de-escalation/secure zone” document.

    Assad's delegation vetoed any language that implied the opposition retaining control of territory in #Syria, even if in an interim period.

    Assad’s delegation also vetoed the inclusion of language (in earlier drafts) banning #Syria’s airforce from operating over opposition areas

    Opposition is [rightly] skeptical due to lack of *any* enforcement mechanism/guarantees by stakeholder countries.

    This is the same as previous CoH/ceasefire “deals”

    We get a little calm, but then escalation after #Assad had time to prepare for Round 127
