A memorandum on this was signed at the level of Russian and Turkish defense ministers. The center will operate exclusively remotely, using objective surveillance technical means—including drones and other technologies—that enable determine the situation on the line of contact and determine which side is in compliance with or violates all combat and ceasefire conditions.
