"The problem is that the situation around Aleppo is difficult," he said, answering a question about when the city may be liberated from terrorists. Putin said that it is "a strategically important area, actually, the country’s industrial capital," and in that area the so-called "armed opposition is present along with Jabhat al-Nusra (outlawed in Russia terrorist organization)." "It’s difficult to divide them, they act differently," the president said.
According to him, at present the groups fighting in Aleppo "are making attempts to improve their posture," while the Syrian government troops "do not need to improve their positions." He added that first of all the Kurdish formations, not the Syrian army, are fighting in that area.
"We are closely watching this and will do everything to prevent the worsening of the situation," Putin said.
According to Putin, peace in Syria will come as a result not of military actions but of peace talks.
"We hope that reconciliation of armed forces will not lead to appeasement, but political process will. They should reach an agreement, sit down at the negotiations table, adopt a constitution, hold election on the basis of this constitution and thus overcome the crisis," Putin said.
In his words, after withdrawal of Russian group of forces, Syrian government troops’ combat capability is increasing.
