Russia is looking for a solution that involves as few casualties as possible, Lavrov said.
“I think everyone understands that the militants in east Aleppo are agonizing. We don’t want to support those who would gladly finish off those militants at any cost without any talks. We are ready to solve these problems in a way that would spare us additional casualties and destruction,” Lavrov explained.
On Thursday, the Syrian Army put its active combat operations in eastern Aleppo on hold to evacuate some 8,000 civilians, Lavrov said earlier.
“I didn’t say that the combat actions ended. I said they were suspended for a certain period so that civilians could leave the area… After the humanitarian pause, the military operation will continue until the militants leave eastern Aleppo,” Lavrov noted on Friday, when asked about Thursday’s statement.
