Russia says will need u n guarantee for new aleppo humanitarian pauses

Russia has announced that it will require a UN guarantee for any new humanitarian pauses in Aleppo, Syria. This comes as the Syrian government, backed by Russia, has been accused of violating previous ceasefires and humanitarian pauses in the city.

According to reports, Russia's UN Ambassador Vitaly Churkin said that any new pause in fighting in Aleppo would require a UN guarantee to ensure that the Syrian government and its allies do not resume fighting. Churkin also stated that Russia is willing to work with the UN to establish a mechanism to monitor the ceasefire and ensure that humanitarian aid reaches those in need.

This announcement comes as the situation in Aleppo remains dire, with reports of intense fighting and civilian casualties. The Syrian government and its allies have been accused of using heavy artillery and airstrikes to target civilian areas, while the opposition has been accused of using mortars and rockets to target government positions.

The UN has called for an immediate ceasefire in Aleppo and has urged all parties to allow humanitarian aid to reach those in need. The UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has also called for an investigation into the alleged use of chemical weapons in Aleppo.

The US and other Western countries have also called for an immediate ceasefire and have accused the Syrian government and its allies of committing war crimes. The US has also threatened to take military action against the Syrian government if it does not comply with international law.

The situation in Aleppo remains highly volatile, and it is unclear whether a new ceasefire or humanitarian pause will be agreed upon. However, the Russian announcement of a UN guarantee is seen as a positive step towards finding a solution to the crisis.
