Ryske försvarsministern, Shoigu, säger några ord om evakueringen av Aleppo.
110 000 personer lämnade östra Aleppo via de upprättade korridorerna, 9 000 stridande la ner sina vapen.
Civila återvänder nu till staden, man återställer el och vattenförsörjning.
Hjälpbehovet är förstås väldigt stort, men säkerheten är återställd, så hjälp utifrån är välkommen, men hjälporganisationerna verkar sakna viljan.
Befrielsen av Aleppo betyder att det finns förutsättningar för samtal om en total vapenvila i hela Syrien.

Operation in Aleppo is over, conditions created for talks on ceasefire in Syria — minister
"The operation was conducted on your instructions in tight cooperation with Turkish and Iranian counterparts", Russia's defense minister said at a meeting with president Putin
…
”To my mind, we have come close to achieving an agreement on the full ceasefire in Syria," Shoigu said.
…
"From December 15, military action was stopped to allow the biggest humanitarian operation, to evacuate radical elements and their families," he said. "On that stage, we managed to make jointly with the Turkish and Iranian counterparts, and, of course, with the Syrian authorities, conditions for the evacuation on those days of almost 34,000 people - almost 14,000 of them are men and about 8,500 children, and about the same number - women," the defense minister said.
"Seven humanitarian corridors were set up, with nearly 110,000 people leaving the city via them, while 9,000 militants laid down arms. Some of them, the bulk, have been granted amnesty in accordance with a decision by President (Bashar) al-Assad," the minister said.
"Civilians are coming back (to the city) very actively. Our specialists alongside Syrians are restoring power and water supplies," Shoigu said.
As of Friday, "all the opportunities are in place" to allow humanitarian aid convoys into Aleppo that "we have been discussing so much."
"More to the point, we can see the opportunity but cannot see any willingness," the minister added.
