The Russian Embassy in Syria has issued a statement advising Russian citizens to depart the country as rebel forces continue to make gains against government forces. The embassy, located in Damascus, emphasized the challenging military and political situation in Syria as the primary reason for the advisory.
Russia has long been a staunch supporter of the Syrian government led by President Bashar al-Assad. In recent years, Moscow has provided significant military assistance to bolster the regime's defenses against rebel groups and other opposition forces.
