French President Emmanuel Macron has urged his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to ensure that Moscow's ally Syria implements a UN resolution calling for a 30-day ceasefire in eastern Ghouta. <br /> In Monday's phone call with Putin, Macron added that the UN truce should be accepted "without any ambiguity."<br />According to the Kremlin, Putin agreed on the importance of providing aid and evacuating civilians. <br />Moscow had proposed a daily five-hour truce instead of the UN resolution, but both proposals have not been met. <br />The French leader's remark also came after Syrian President Bashar al-Assad vowed to push ahead with his military's assault on the rebel-held area. <br />Dozens more people were killed Monday as a convoy with humanitarian aid entered eastern Ghouta amid continued bombardment by pro-regime forces. <br />
