The Russian authorities have granted political asylum to Bashar al-Assad, underlining the Kremlin's resolve to support its allies while ensuring the safety of its assets in Syria.
Al-Assad’s evacuation by a Russian plane from the airbase in Latakia indicates Moscow's commitment to its military presence, amidst concerns about the stability of its military bases.
The future of Russia's military bases in Syria will likely depend on the new leadership in Syria and the Kremlin's ongoing negotiations and strategic interests in the region.
The Kremlin emphasized that discussions about the future of its military facilities, particularly the naval base in Tartous, are premature given the fluid situation in Syria.
