The leaders of Russia and Turkey have agreed to a ceasefire plan for Syria's Idlib province to prevent the escalation of fighting there from spiraling to an all-out war, the RT website reports today (March 5, 2020).

The ceasefire followed hours-long talks in Moscow between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Russian and Turkish troops will be carrying out joint patrol missions along Idlib's M-4 highway.
