[Regnum] The fall of the regime of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad occurred due to a long-term economic crisis in the republic caused by sanctions from the collective West. This was stated by the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Valery Gerasimov during a briefing.
“The offensive of the armed opposition is due to the Syrian army’s inability to conduct regular combat training and the low morale of its personnel as a result of the long-term economic crisis caused by unprecedented sanctions by the US and its allies,” he said.
Gerasimov also clarified that the “Astana format” for a peaceful settlement in Syria proposed by Russia was rejected by the United States and Great Britain.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on December 8 it became known that Assad had decided to leave the presidential post and left the country, giving instructions to peacefully transfer power. Information also appeared that the politician and his family had arrived in Moscow, Russia had granted them asylum.
For several years, Russia has supported the Syrian government led by Assad in its fight against terrorist forces. Moscow has pledged to provide support as long as the Syrian state itself is conducting military operations, noted Russian President Vladimir Putin. Back in 2015, he emphasized that “we are not going to be more Syrian than the Syrians themselves.”
