12/19 – Putin Talks Fall Of Assad: ‘russia Achieved Its Goals In Syria’
The president said the future of Moscow’s bases in Syria is unclear and depends on the actions of the new Syrian leadership
Russian President Vladimir Putin said during a news conference on 19 December that the recent events in Syria do not constitute a defeat for Moscow, confirming that he is soon planning to meet with deposed Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, who was granted asylum in Russia after Damascus fell.
He also said the future of Moscow’s military bases in Syria depends on the actions of the new leadership in post-Assad Syria.
“Russia intervened militarily in Syria to prevent the emergence of a terrorist entity there,” Putin said, adding that Moscow “achieved its goals in Syria and [it does] not consider what happened there a defeat for [it].”
The Russian military intervened in Syria in 2015, helping Syrian troops and their allies further turn the tide against ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and other groups who had seized large swathes of the country. Western media has framed the fall of Damascus as a large blow to both Russia and Iran.
“I haven’t yet seen president Assad since his arrival in Moscow but I plan to, I will definitely speak with him,” Putin went on to tell a US journalist. He added that he plans to ask Assad about the fate of Austin Tice, a US journalist who has been missing in Syria since 2012, one year after the start of the US-backed war against the country.
