Syrian leader visits Moscow as Russia bolsters troops
Syrian Interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa is set to visit Moscow on Wednesday, marking his first official trip to Russia. The visit comes amid growing military activity by Russia in Syria, including large-scale resupply operations at key bases. Al-Sharaa will hold talks with Russian leaders, with one key topic being the request for the extradition of ousted President Bashar al-Assad, who has sought refuge in Russia. As Russian forces continue to strengthen their presence along Syria’s western coast, the visit underscores Moscow’s long-term commitment to Syria’s stability and its strategic interests in the region. The outcome of the talks may shape Syria’s future political landscape and Russia’s ongoing role.
