Russia's Defence Ministry announced on Wednesday that a ceasefire has been introduced in Syria's Aleppo for two days, beginning on Thursday (16 June). 
The defence ministry's statement said, "On Russia's initiative, a 'regime of silence' has been introduced in Aleppo for 48 hours from 00:01 16 June (2100 GMT Wednesday) with the goal of lowering the level of armed violence and stabilising the situation." The statement did not clarify if the issue was discussed with other countries or other groups in Syria. It comes after US Secretary of State John Kerry warned Russian and Syrian governments to respect a ceasefire that has been breached multiple times by all parties. 
He said, "It is very clear that the cessation of hostilities is frayed and at risk and that it is critical for a genuine cessation to be put in place. 
"Russia needs to understand that our patience is not infinite, in fact, it is very limited with whether or not Assad is going to be held accountable. We are also prepared to hold accountable the members of the opposition," Kerry said. 
A ceasefire agreement in Syria between Russia and US has come into force on February 27, but it does not apply to ISIS and al-Nusra Front.
