Bashar al-Assad, the former ruler of Syria, has reportedly fled to Russia, according to claims from the Kremlin. However, the absence of current images or videos has led to speculation regarding his status. Reports indicate that Assad refused to resign and ordered the dissolution of the Syrian Army before his escape. Details have emerged suggesting that Russian agents assisted him in leaving Syria as rebel forces advanced towards Damascus. Following his departure, Assad and his family are said to be residing in a luxury apartment complex in Moscow, where he owns 18 apartments valued at over $40 million. This starkly contrasts with the ongoing suffering of Syrians who continue to seek justice amidst the devastation in their homeland.
