  • Syria's Bashar al-Assad and his family have arrived in Russia and have been granted asylum by the Russian authorities, Russian news agencies reported on Sunday.

This development comes amidst ongoing conflicts in Syria, where Assad has been in power since 2000. The asylum in Russia could be seen as a strategic move for Assad, given Russia's long-standing support for his regime, including military aid. The exact reasons for seeking asylum were not detailed in the reports, but it might be linked to the increasing international pressure and the complex geopolitical situation in the Middle East. This move could also signify a deepening of the relationship between Russia and Syria, potentially affecting regional dynamics and international relations concerning the Syrian conflict.
