[Regnum] Russia will maintain a military presence in Syria, including bases in the cities of Tartus and Khmeimim. Bloomberg wrote about this on February 17, citing sources familiar with the situation.
“Sources said Moscow is close to an agreement with the new Syrian government that would allow it to retain some personnel and equipment in the country,” the agency’s report said.
It is noted that Russia intends to maintain a full presence at the naval and air force bases that it controlled before the change of power in Syria in December 2024. At the same time, Moscow is close to concluding a deal with the new Syrian government that would allow it to retain some personnel and equipment in the country.
According to the source, the Syrian side, in turn, expects that the Russian presence will help balance Turkey’s growing influence in the region.
As reported by Regnum News Agency, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov noted in December 2024 that Russia expects to maintain military bases in Syria, since they play an important role in the fight against international terrorism.
On February 3, Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov reported that the Russian side is continuing negotiations with Syria on the issue of using military bases on the country's territory.
On February 7, Syrian Defense Minister Marhaf Abu Kasra said that the country could agree to retain Russian military bases if it would be beneficial to Damascus.
