.@StateDeptSpox: Brutal airstrikes by Russia and the regime continue, especially in Eastern #Ghouta, despite the unanimous UN Security Council vote on February 24th to demand an immediate cessation of hostilities throughout #Syria.

.@StateDeptSpox: Strikes on Eastern #Ghouta in recent days have demonstrated the farcical nature of Russia’s proposed humanitarian corridor. Russia is clearly attempting to feign implementation of UNSCR2401 while showing complete disregard for the ongoing humanitarian disaster.

.@StateDeptSpox: Russia’s unwillingness to adhere to its numerous commitments was fully demonstrated again by the fact that trucks carrying much needed aid were forced to withdraw from the area due to pro-regime attacks which killed dozens of innocent civilians. #Syria #Ghouta

.@StateDeptSpox: Russia has not only failed to follow through on delivering regime adherence, but it continues to conduct airstrikes in #Ghouta with its own air force. Russia & Assad regime continue to ignore the terms of multiple UN Security Council resolutions. #Syria

.@StateDeptSpox: The Assad regime along with its backers in Moscow & Tehran should adhere to UNSCR 2401, should cease hostilities, and allow unfettered humanitarian access, in particular in Eastern #Ghouta, where nearly 400,000 innocent civilians are in critical need. #Syria
