How can one speak in theory, in general? These are quite specific things, which will imply a specific assessment of them.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Maintaining Communication With Syrian Forces<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zakharova also noted that Russia continues to engage with various political figures and forces in Syria. &#8220;As for concrete steps, we now need to wait first of all for the institutionalization of power in Damascus, because this process has only now been started,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The comments come as HTS and allied factions have taken control of Damascus following an offensive by armed opposition units that began in late November. The swift military campaign forced Syrian government troops to withdraw, culminating in the resignation of President Bashar al-Assad, who fled the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Concerns Over Resurgence of ISIS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier on Wednesday, the Russian Foreign Ministry warned of the potential resurgence of ISIS in Syria amid the current instability. Zakharova expressed Russia\u2019s apprehensions about the power vacuum created after Assad\u2019s fall, stating, \u201cThere is a real danger of ISIS regrouping and expanding its influence once more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Asylum Granted to Assad in Moscow<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Kremlin source confirmed to TASS that Assad and his family have been granted asylum in Russia for humanitarian reasons. &#8220;President Assad and his family are now in Moscow,&#8221; the source said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Regional Uncertainty<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russia\u2019s evaluation of HTS\u2019s status as a terrorist organization reflects the shifting dynamics in Syria following the regime change. The institutionalization of new governance structures in Damascus remains a key priority for international stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Kremlin\u2019s strategy appears focused on maintaining its influence in Syria while navigating the post-Assad political landscape. Zakharova\u2019s emphasis on HTS\u2019s actions suggests that Russia\u2019s decision will hinge on the group\u2019s conduct and willingness to adapt to the evolving political environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Additional Reporting by Saad Al-Yazijy<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Kardo Roj MOSCOW, Russia (North Press) \u2013 Russia will assess the actions and activities of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) before considering its removal from the list of terrorist organizations, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated on Wednesday.
