The Syrian rebel flag was raised by staff at the country’s embassy in Moscow on Monday after rebel forces seized control of Damascus at the weekend. This significant event comes after Russia, one of Syria’s staunchest allies, saw dictator Bashar al-Assad swiftly fleeing to the country on Sunday following the fall of his regime, as per sources.
Despite the regime change, Russian security services at the embassy confirmed that it remains operational, indicating a potential shift in diplomatic relations between the two nations.
