The UN's Syria envoy said on Thursday that visible progress was being made on the country's landmark ceasefire, after a sharp drop was reported inthe number of civilians dying every
day.
France and Britain said further efforts were needed, calling on Russia to halt attacks on moderate rebel groups in Syria as the country suffered an hours-long nationwide blackout, evidence of the damage nearly five years of war has inflicted.
World powers have thrown their weight behind the ceasefire agreement as a way to bring an end to the complex war, starting with renewed peace talks in Geneva set for March 9.Peace envoy Staffan de Mistura on Thursday said the truce, now in its sixth day, had made "visible" progress."The level of violence in the country is being greatly reduced.
Ask the Syrian people," De Mistura told reporters in Geneva, adding that the situation remained "fragile".
He spoke before entering a meeting of the UN-backed international task force co-chaired by Moscow and Washington that is overseeing the truce.
