“ Syria President Ahmed Ash-Sharaa will arrive in Moscow on Wednesday, October 15 for a meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin. Source: Reuters with reference to the Syrian State Agency SANA. Details: This will be Sharaa’s first visit to Russia after last year an ally of the Kremlin, President Bashar Assad, was overthrown by the rebels led by Sharaa. According to SANA, the parties plan to discuss regional and international issues, as well as ways of cooperation between Syria and Russia. According to the agency with reference to the Syrian source, negotiations on the further presence of Russian military bases in Tartus and Khmeimim, as well as the official appeal of the Syrian side to issue Bashar al -Assad for trial for trial against Syria citizens, reports during the meeting. The Russian ruler spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed the visit of the Syrian President and noted that Putin and Sharaa will discuss the future of Russian military bases in Syria. Peskov’s direct language: “An important day for Russian-Syrian relations after the change of power in Syria. It is obvious that the meeting with the President will raise the issue of Russian bases in Syria.” Prehistory: The Ministry of Justice of Syria issued a correspondence warrant for the arrest of the former President of the country Bashar Hafz Assad. He is persecuted for premeditated murder, an attack to provoke civil war and torture that led to death. The warrant was issued nine months after the Assad regime was falling in December 2024, when the revolutionary forces were taken control of the whole country. After the collapse of the Bahasist regime, which lasted 61 years, Assad fled to Russia, where he received a humanitarian shelter. During the years of the Revolution (2011-2024), Assad’s name was associated with numerous military crimes: chaotic shelling of cities, the use of chemical weapons, mass arrests and torture tens of thousands of people, as well as bloody massacres in different regions of Syria. Local and international human rights organizations have repeatedly placed personal responsibility for orders and systemic criminal acts that fall under the definition of crimes against humanity. The Syrian warrant coincided with the actions of European courts. In August 2025, French justice issued seven warrants for the arrest of high -ranking officials of the former Syrian regime, including Bashar Assad. They were accused of involvement in the bombing of the press center in Homs in 2012, when American journalist Mary Kolvin and French photographer Remie Oshlik were killed. International human rights organizations, including the International Federation of Human Rights and the Syrian Center for Media and Freedom of Expression, consider these warrants a step towards a possible trial for war crimes and crimes against humanity. On September 25, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky reported that Ukraine and Syria were signed by a joint communique about the restoration of diplomatic relations.”, – WRITE: www.pravda.com.ua
