Russia said Monday it was not currently considering a new truce in the Syrian city of Aleppo after a brief cease-fire ended at the weekend.

“The question of renewing the humanitarian pause is not relevant now,” deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told Interfax news agency in the first official comment from Moscow on why it did not extend the cease-fire further.
Heavy fighting resumed in Aleppo on Saturday after the end of a three-day cease-fire declared by government ally Russia.
In order to renew the cease-fire, “our opponents must ensure appropriate behavior by the anti-government groups that in particular sabotaged the medical evacuation that was intended during the humanitarian pause,” Ryabkov said.
He chastised the US-led coalition, saying that it was criticizing Damascus and Moscow instead of “really exerting influence on the opposition, the rebels.”
“Over the last three days, what was needed did not happen,” he said.
Ryabkov also said that he did not see the “conditions” for ministerial-level negotiations on Syria before the US elections on Nov. 8, after a Lausanne meeting on Oct. 15 that ended with no breakthrough.
“It’s almost no time until the US elections. To be honest, I don’t see the conditions for a ministerial meeting,” he said, insisting that Damascus and Moscow were fulfilling international agreements.
The Kremlin had hailed the humanitarian cease-fire as a “manifestation of goodwill” as it faced mounting criticism over its bombing of rebel-held eastern Aleppo in support of a brutal regime offensive on the city.
But the Kremlin and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov had expressed concern at the small numbers of civilians and fighters leaving the city, with only a handful reported to have crossed through a single passage.
Lavrov on Friday accused fighters from the Fateh Al-Sham Front and influential Ahrar Al-Sham group of obstructing the departure of civilians and combatants prepared to leave, saying they used “threats, blackmail and brute force.”
Sixteen civilians, including three children, were killed on Monday in heavy bombardment across rebel-held Idlib province in northwest Syria, a monitoring group said.
In Khan Sheikhun, a town in the province’s south, air strikes killed seven people, including two women and a child, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The Britain-based Observatory said the raids were carried out by either Syrian or Russian aircraft.
Another seven people, including four women and two children, were killed in raids on Kafr Takharim, further north in the province.
Those raids hit three residential buildings, a local government building, and a stadium, shortly after midnight, AFP’s correspondent in the town said. In the morning, rescue workers were still trying to pull bodies out of the rubble.
“My sister’s house was standing right here. She and her daughter are dead, along with another family,” Abu Mohammad told AFP.
“There was no military base here. All the military positions are outside the town,” the devastated man said.
Another man and a woman were killed in rocket fire in the nearby town of Kafr Awid. Idlib province is controlled by the Army of Conquest, an alliance of rebel groups including the Fateh Al-Sham Front.
According to the Observatory, heavy bombardment has battered the northwest province in recent days.
Since Thursday, bombardment has killed 44 civilians, including 11 women, nine children, and one rescue worker. Syria’s conflict broke out in March 2011 with anti-government protests, but it has since evolved into all-out war pitting rebels, government forces, Kurds and extremists against each other.
