Syria Seeks Permanent Russian Military Presence; In Return Syria Backs Russia in War with Ukraine

Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad said he would "welcome a permanent Russian military presence" in his  country and supports Russia's invasion of Ukraine,


Assad, who met Russian President  Vladimir Putin this week in Moscow, told reporters that he awaits Russian proposals to set up new military bases and boost troop numbers in Syria. 


Moscow ensured the autocratic Syrian leader's survival despite Western demands that he be toppled. In return, Assad stressed that Syeia stood beside Russia on the issue of Ukraine.
