- Story Text: The three-starred flag of the Syrian rebel groups has been installed over the Syrian embassy building in Moscow on Monday (December 9).
Russian news agencies reported on Sunday that Bashar al-Assad was in Moscow with his family after rebel fighters raced into Damascus unopposed, ending nearly six decades of the Assad family's rule.
The Kremlin said on Monday that it was too early to say what the future would hold for Russia's military bases in Syria, adding that it would be the subject of discussion with the new rulers in Damascus.
After a lightning advance of a militia alliance spearheaded by Hayat al-Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a former al-Qaeda affiliate, Bashar al-Assad fled to Russia, raising questions about two strategically-important Russian military facilities in Syria. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
