The Kremlin has informed the Syrian dictator that Russia now has other priorities and its intervention, if any, is insignificant.
Russia has informed Syrian President Bashar al-Assad that it does not intend to intervene significantly to save his regime from the rebels’ rapid advance. Sky News Arabia reported this on Friday, December 6, citing an informed source.
According to the publication, Assad was informed that if there is any Russian intervention, it will be limited, as Moscow now has “other priorities.”
Meanwhile, Bloomberg, citing a source close to the Kremlin, confirms: Moscow has no plans to save Assad, whose regime almost fell in 2011 and survived the last nine years thanks to the Russian army. That plan is unlikely to materialize, Bloomberg’s source said, as Assad’s army retreats and surrenders city after city.
“Assad’s future has never looked more fragile than it does now, and now Russia appears – or perhaps unwilling – to save him,” said Charles Lister, director of Syria and the country’s counter-terrorism and extremism programs. the Near East.
He noted that most of the countryside of Homs is quietly supporting the opposition, and this will greatly help in clearing the road to the city itself.
It was earlier reported that Russia has withdrawn its military fleet from Syria. On December 2, the tanker Yelnya, important for supporting Russian forces in the Mediterranean, left Tartus.
