The priority in Aleppo is to protect the civilian population and ensure access to humanitarian aid, the Polish Foreign Ministry said Wednesday, the Polish Press Agency reported.

"In light of recent events, Poland upholds its position that the conflict in Syria can only be ended through talks leading to a political agreement between the opposition and the authorities in Damascus," the ministry wrote.
