In the Telegram channel, Maria Zakharova responded to Baerbock's statement regarding Russian bases in Syria, emphasizing that this was said by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the country where the US military bases are located.
“I have a question: isn’t it time, from the point of view of the head of the German Foreign Ministry, for her to say something similar to Washington?” Zakharova wrote.
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock called for the removal of Russian military bases in Syria on Friday, January 3, during a visit to Syria. Baerbock's statement was published on the German Foreign Ministry's website.
As reported by Regnum News Agency, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service warned that the US and British authorities intend to prevent the situation in Syria from stabilizing after the change of power and are going to maintain chaos throughout the Middle East. The agency specified that these plans are hampered by the presence of Russian troops on the Syrian coast of the Mediterranean Sea, which continues to be a significant factor in stability in the region.
Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Mikhail Bogdanov said on December 12 that Russia expects to maintain military bases in Syria because they play an important role in the fight against international terrorism. The diplomat said that Moscow has established contacts in Syria with the political committee of the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham group (a terrorist organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation).

State Duma accuses Baerbock of interfering in Syria and Russia
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has clearly exceeded her authority, said Leonid Slutsky, head of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, on January 3, commenting on the words of the head of the German Foreign Ministry about the need to remove Russian military bases in Syria.
Slutsky emphasized that Baerbock is not just crudely interfering in the process of establishing Syrian statehood; it is dictating to the nuclear power how and with whom it should conduct military cooperation.
“All these issues are far beyond her competence and concern exclusively Russian-Syrian relations,” Slutsky wrote on his Telegram channel.
Slutsky is sure that the head of the German Foreign Ministry is in the "lame duck" mode, since after the collapse of the ruling coalition and the announcement of a vote of no confidence in the government of Chancellor Olaf Scholz, early elections will be held in Germany. Slutsky called Baerbock's political prospects dubious, especially with such big problems in the "elementary educational base."
