Russia Blames Assad's Swift Overthrow on Inability to Address Social Issues
Dec 30, 2024, 07:43 AM
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated that the swift downfall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad was due to his inability to address the country's social problems and meet the basic needs of the population. Lavrov emphasized that the former Syrian leadership failed to engage in dialogue and resolve societal issues, contributing to the deterioration of the situation in Syria. Russia, which had been Assad's protector until the upheaval, appears to be distancing itself from the ousted leader. Lavrov mentioned that Russia is monitoring the situation closely but noted it is too early to draw far-reaching conclusions about the ongoing events.
