Moscow has been conducting a bombing campaign in Syria in support of long-time ally President Bashar al-Assad since September 2015.

Russia forged a deal with Turkey – which supports groups seeking to topple Assad – that saw rebel fighters and civilians leave Aleppo.

Shoigu said today that some 34,000 people had been evacuated from rebel-held eastern Aleppo since December 15.

Russia’s bombardment of Aleppo saw the West levelling accusations of war crimes that stung the Kremlin and further strained its fragile ties with the West.
