Kremlin Unable to Provide Information on Assad's Stay in Moscow: Peskov

The Kremlin cannot provide any information regarding the whereabouts of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in Russia. This was stated by Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary of the Russian president, to reporters.

“No, we cannot share any information on this matter,” he said, responding to a question about whether the Kremlin could provide information on Assad's presence in Russia over the past year, as well as whether the former Syrian leader might have met with Russian President Vladimir Putin during this time.

It is worth noting that in late November 2024, armed opposition groups launched a large-scale attack on Syrian army positions. On December 8, they entered Damascus, prompting Assad to resign from the presidency and flee the country. Ahmed al-Sharaa became the de facto leader of Syria.
