"The United States supports the call of the UN to stop violence for a month to allow the delivery of humanitarian aid and to allow the immediate evacuation of civilians in East Guta.This termination must begin immediately," she said.

The diplomat stressed that the United States stands for a single Syria in the current ladies without new autonomous entities.

"The US supports a secure independent Syria within its current borders, we do not change (position) and support changes or some new autonomous regions," Nauert said at the briefing.

De-escalation zones

In East Gut, with the assistance of the guarantor countries - Russia, Turkey and Iran - a zone of de-escalation has been created.

In total, in Syria, there are four zones of de-escalation: on the border of the provinces of Idlib and Hama, in the province of Homs, in the suburb of Damascus of East Guta, as well as in the province of Deraa. Within the limits of these territories military operations are stopped. However, militants systematically violate the truce. So, CPVC reports about daily provocative shelling of residential areas of Damascus.

The Center has repeatedly called upon all parties to cease hostilities, as well as strictly comply with the requirements of the memorandum on the establishment of de-escalation zones.
