Assad's fall is not a "loss" for Russia, Putin says
Putin and Bashar al-Assad

The departure from Syria of Bashar al-Assad, a close ally of Moscow, is not a "loss" for Russia, Vladimir Putin assured on Thursday, while assessing that the Russian army, mobilized in Syria since 2015, had "achieved its objective."

“They are trying to present what happened in Syria as a defeat for Russia. I assure you that this is not the case,” he said at his annual press conference. “We came to Syria ten years ago to prevent the creation of a terrorist enclave there, like in Afghanistan. In general, we have achieved our goal.”

The Russian Foreign Ministry earlier stated that authorities may launch an assessment regarding the removal of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) from the terrorism list.

"We will begin an assessment regarding the removal of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham from the terrorist list," Russian diplomacy stated.

The Russian parliament passed a law the other day that will allow courts to suspend bans on groups designated by Moscow as terrorist organizations — paving the way for it to normalize ties with the Afghan Taliban and potentially with Syria's new leadership.

The leader of Russia's Muslim Chechnya region, Ramzan Kadyrov, called on Monday for the removal of the Syrian group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham from Moscow's list of banned terrorist groups.

HTS led the overthrow of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad this month.

Kadyrov, a close ally of Putin, said Russia needed ties with the new Syrian authorities to ensure stability and prevent a humanitarian catastrophe.

The Kremlin said this week that Russia was in contact with the new leadership in Syria, where it hopes to retain use of an airport and naval base that give it a key military base in the Mediterranean.

The new law, passed by the lower house of parliament (Duma), allows a group to be removed from Russia's banned list by order of a court if it ceases terrorism-related activity.

The Taliban were in the first group of groups to be listed, in February 2003, and Syria's HTS was added in 2020.
