The withdrawal of militants from Aleppo has opened opportunities to impose ceasefire regimes in other Syria's regions, Sputnik news agency quoted spokesman for the Russian Defense Ministry Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov as having said.

Almost 10,000 people have been rescued as a result of the operation on militants' withdrawal from Aleppo, the ministry said. 

"The operation carried out by the Russian center for [Syrian] reconciliation on the evacuation of militants and their families from Aleppo is unique not only because this operation saved the lives of some 10,000 Syrians. This operation opened opportunities to impose regimes of halted combat activities not only in the Aleppo province, but also in other Syria's regions," Konashenkov said. 

The operation shows that it is necessary to have a desire to agree with all parties of the conflict on the ground except for terrorists to achieve Syrian reconciliation, he noted.
