Turkey-Russia ushered Idlib cease-fire is a bad deal for Turkey and rebles, which this article confirms

However, the M4 cuts into the lower third of the ever-shrinking territory still under Syrian opposition control. The deal places the area south of the highway under Russian control, effectively handing it over to forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
