US EditionSyria's Sharaa to Meet Putin in Moscow on Wednesday, Syria TV Says
Al-Sharaa seeks to secure international legitimacy and attract aid for reconstruction while Russia aims to maintain its strategic military presence at two key Syrian bases, analysts say.
- Syria TV reported that Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa will visit Moscow on Wednesday to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin.
- This trip follows Sharaa's earlier Moscow visit on October 15, after he led a rebel offensive that ousted Bashar al-Assad, who fled to Russia and was granted asylum.
- Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the talks will discuss the presence of Russian soldiers in Syria after Moscow withdrew forces from Qamishli airport, leaving the Hmeimim airbase and Tartus naval base.
- Analysts say the agenda will cover security, military cooperation, reconstruction and regional stability, underscoring Ahmed al-Sharaa's effort to secure international legitimacy and rebuild state institutions.
- This is his second Moscow visit in less than four months, following October 15, as Russia, focused on Ukraine and maintaining a small Syrian contingent, made a pragmatic pivot toward the new leadership.
