Russia has expressed concern over the escalating violence in Syria, calling for a united and stable country, as instability there could have severe repercussions for the entire Middle East, the Kremlin stated on Tuesday.
The Kremlin expressed its desire for a stable and united Syria, emphasizing that instability in the country could have far-reaching consequences for the entire Middle East.
Recent clashes between supporters of former president Bashar al-Assad and Syria’s new Islamist rulers have led to over 1,000 deaths, mostly civilians. Russia, a key ally of Assad, has maintained a strong presence in Syria, with two strategically important military bases that it seeks to retain following Assad's ouster in December.
“This is a highly volatile region, and any destabilization or disintegration of one country can have disastrous repercussions for the entire region. Therefore, we want to see Syria united, prosperous, stable, and friendly,” said Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov.
Peskov also noted that Russia is in communication with other countries regarding the situation in Syria. On Monday, Russian UN Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia revealed that Russia is coordinating with the United States amid the escalating violence.
