Russian Naval Retreat in Syria Amidst Strategic Setbacks
TL;DR Summary
New satellite images reveal that Russian aircraft remain at the Khmeimim airbase in Syria, but warships have vacated the Tartus naval facility following the collapse of the Assad regime. The sudden regime change, with Assad fleeing to Moscow, has cast uncertainty over Russia's military presence in Syria, crucial for its strategic interests in the Mediterranean and Africa. While Russian naval vessels are currently off the coast, the Kremlin is negotiating with Syria's new leadership to secure its bases, amid concerns about losing its regional influence.
