Army) and was where the so-called White Helmets operate - a group that
purports to defend civilians and which is funded by the UK.
In total, 165 000 persons – civilians and armed jihadists - have been
evacuated, pursuant to agreements concluded by the Syrian Ministry for
Reconciliation under the protection of the Russian Centre.
