DAMASCUS, Syria (North Press) – A senior Russian official announced on Monday that Moscow is in direct contact with Syria’s new leadership following the fall of the previous regime led by Bashar al-Assad earlier this month.

Yuri Ushakov, Kremlin foreign policy adviser, stated, “Russia is maintaining contact with the new Syrian administration at both diplomatic and military levels.”

Despite the collapse of the Assad government, Russia continues to operate several military bases and maintain troops within Syria. However, the scale of Russian activities has decreased compared to previous years.

The new leadership in Damascus has reportedly opened dialogue with Russia to discuss ongoing cooperation in key sectors, including security and reconstruction efforts.
