Moscow confirms Assad's asylum status
Russia has confirmed that the decision to grant former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad asylum on humanitarian grounds is final and cannot be revoked, noting that the current Syrian authorities are aware of Moscow's position. This came after the fall of Assad's regime in December 2024 following a widespread attack and interference by armed opposition groups, during which Assad left the country for Russia. A new transitional phase was then led by Ahmad al-Shara, who was appointed president in January 2025. Russia insists on refusing to reconsider its asylum decision, while the new Syrian government continues to manage the transitional period and reconfigure its international relations.
