Before the Fall of the Assad Regime, Putin Considered an Unexpected Option in Damascus
A report by the British newspaper "The Observer" revealed that Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed the possibility of removing Bashar al-Assad from power and replacing him with his wife, Asma al-Assad, before the fall of the Assad regime in December 2024, in an attempt to maintain Moscow's influence in Syria. The information indicated that Putin viewed Assad as weak and heavily dependent on Russian support, and that Moscow was exploring options for his succession. However, Assad rejected the proposal and left for Moscow after his regime's decline. Despite the sanctions, Asma al-Assad continues to frequent Dubai, where she owns properties, following her departure from Syria to seek treatment in Russia.
