Russia Ready for Humanitarian Ceasefire in Syria's Aleppo

Russia said on Thursday it was ready to conduct a 48-hour ceasefire next week to allow much-needed humanitarian aid into the divided city of Aleppo. 
The measure will be considered a "pilot project" to determine the feasibility of future ceasefires in the area, Russian General Igor Konashenkov said. 
Russia's military is also ready to provide protection to United Nations' convoys entering the war-torn northern city, Konashenkov told the Interfax news agency. 
The Russian gesture came shortly after the UN envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura, adjourned a humanitarian task force meeting after just eight minutes, citing continued violence and a lack of progress on bringing aid into desperate parts of the war-ravaged country.
