‘SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP’, Putin Hosts Syrian President Al-Sharaa At Kremlin, Renews Russia-Syria Ties

Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Wednesday, marking his first official visit since assuming power in December 2024 after toppling Bashar al-Assad. The leaders discussed strengthening bilateral cooperation and addressing regional and international developments, with a focus on securing Russia's military presence in Syria, including the Hmeimim airbase and Tartous naval facility. The Kremlin highlighted talks on using these bases as logistics hubs for African aid, while Syrian officials seek assurances Russia will not rearm Assad’s remnants. Sharaa, formerly linked to al-Qaeda’s Syrian branch, is also pushing for economic concessions, including wheat supplies and war damage compensation, and Russian support against Israeli demands for a wider demilitarized zone in southern Syria. The visit is sensitive, as Russia granted asylum to Assad, now living discreetly in Moscow, and Sharaa may request his extradition for trial over alleged crimes. Russia, protective of its allies, is unlikely to comply. The talks, which began around 10:00 GMT, aim to relaunch Russia-Syria ties amid complex geopolitical dynamics, with no joint news conference planned. #syria #russia #alsharaa #putin #kremlin #militarybases #hmeimim #tartous #assad #russiasyriaties #geopolitics #middleeast #economiccooperation #israel #diplomacy #tnworld #timesnowworld #worldnews #internationalnews #timesnews #newsworld ​Subscribe now: http://bit.ly/3VHIl37 Times Now World is your definitive source for comprehensive global news and analysis.
