While applauding Assad’s downfall, world leaders cautioned against HTS. Assad has not been seen since, but according to Russian outlets, he was removed aboard a military plane by Moscow’s special troops.
A source informed the Tass news agency that “Assad and his family members have arrived in Moscow.” “They were granted asylum by Russia for humanitarian reasons.”
The US president, Joe Biden, said that he had learned that Assad was in Moscow.
When asked whether his government would work with HTS, which is banned as a terrorist organization in Britain, Sir Keir Starmer said that it was “early days.”
“We are discussing that with our regional allies because we do require a political solution,” he said. “The removal of Assad is a positive development for the Syrian people.
“We also need to make sure that violence and terrorism are condemned, and that minorities and civilians are safeguarded, which can only be done through a political process.”
