Russian state news agencies say ousted Syrian leader Bashar Assad is in Moscow and given asylum
The Syrian government collapsed to a lightning rebel offensive that sent crowds into the streets to celebrate the end of the Assad family's 50 years of iron rule.
The Russian agencies, Tass and RIA, cited an unidentified Kremlin source on Assad and his family being given asylum in Moscow, his longtime ally and protector. The Associated Press was not immediately able to verify the reports but contacted the Kremlin for comment.
RIA also said Moscow had received guarantees from Syrian insurgents of the security of Russian military bases and diplomatic posts in Syria.
Assad reportedly left Syria early Sunday, and Syrians have been pouring into streets echoing with celebratory gunfire after a stunning rebel advance reached the capital, ending the Assad family’s 50 years of iron rule.
You're viewing a single thread.
Hope they mix up his tea. Or even better, Assad can be a bad luck charm and bring the Russian regime down too!
I wonder what floor he’s staying on.
I hear that can change very rapidly in Russia
The ruskies seem much more competent at running their shit show. 😂
Yeah I’m surprised by this. Seems like Putin wouldn’t want to associate himself with a loser.
I figured he’d go to South America or something.
I expect he may be used for counseling in matters of security, intelligence, ir as a general on the front, or as an officer responsible for crushing dissent. Or as Putin's ophtalmologist.
