Saturday's UNSC Ceasefire 'vote' for 'ceasefire' was unanimous... Russia voted yes. Diplomatic 'barbs' were exchanged throughout.
It is largely being ignored on the battlefields, both by Turkey in Afrin invasion, and by both Syrian Allied forces & Militants in E. Ghouta.
US threats of force against Damascus ‘seriously alarm’ Russia — senior diplomat
http://tass.com/politics/991549
On February 24, the United Nations Security Council in a unanimous vote approved Resolution 2401 demanding a 30-day ceasefire across Syria
to allow aid access to the population in need.
Russia’s UN envoy Vasily Nebenzya said Moscow
"supported this document because:
►it spurs the Syrian conflict sides to end hostilities as soon as possible,
►to implement previously agreed decisions on the issue
►and to engage in negotiations on general de-escalation
►and on introduction of long humanitarian pauses throughout the country’s entire territory."
The diplomat stressed that:
►the ceasefire could not be applied to operations against terrorist organizations in Syria,
►and counter-terrorism missions would continue.

Trump is surrounded by Evangelical Neocons who believe they are engaged in 'fulfilling Prophecy'. Literally.

...Washington threats are heard again of using force, which is unlawful," the diplomat said.
"They are searching for pretexts and this fully runs counter to the meaning and content of the UN Security Council Resolution 2401."
The diplomat noted that Western partners who have recently voiced great concerns over the humanitarian situation in Syria
need to fully comply with the UN Security Council’s decisions.
"A different behavior will mean that the US and its allies violate the UN Security Council Resolution 2401."
