Russia’s President, Vladimir Putin, declared that the Assad government and armed Syrian opposition have signed a ceasefire agreement and agreed to begin a new round of negotiations to find a political solution to the country’s civil war, the Guardian reports.

"We have just received news that a few hours ago the event we have all been waiting for and working towards has happened," Putin said during a televised meeting with Russia’s Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, and its Defense Minister, Sergei Shoigu.

In addition Putin noted that three documents had been signed: a ceasefire agreement between the Syrian government and the armed opposition; a list of control mechanisms to ensure the ceasefire would work; and a statement of intent to begin negotiations on a political end to the conflict.

However, Putin described the ceasefire as fragile and said it would "require a lot of attention".
