Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov has voiced concern over the situation in the Syrian city of Aleppo, as he accused some media outlets of being biased while covering the events there.

"Situation is really critical in Aleppo,” he wrote on his account on Twitter.
“It is clear that biased media by all means try to do work for the opposition when the latter fails,” Gatilov added without indicating which media he meant.

Aleppo witnesses for the third consecutive day an operation led by the Syrian army, which has deployed its artillery squads and heavy weapons in the city.
