Russia and the US have reached a new agreement to enforce a ceasefire in Russia , which is expected to come into effect on last Friday , subject to the agreement of other parties, exluding exclude al-Nusra Front , al-Nusra Front ( Jabhat al-Nusra ), and groups that are designated terrorist organisations. There is considerable scepticism surrounding the planned ceasefire, but the fact that Russia and the US issued a joint statement on the issue is being taken as a positive sign. It has been suggested that the more than 150 powers must be reasonably confident that the other players involved will accept the deal. Notably, both Syria and the US have agreed to act as direct guarantors and monitors of the cessation of hostilities.
