Moscow has entered high-stakes negotiations with Syrian rebel forces to protect its strategic military bases in Tartus and Khmeimim following the dramatic collapse of Bashar al-Assad’s government.
With Assad seeking refuge in Moscow and Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) rebels tightening their grip on Syria, Russian officials are racing to secure agreements ensuring the safety of their bases.
While the rebels have taken control of surrounding provinces, Russian compounds remain operational under temporary guarantees.
This precarious arrangement marks a critical moment for Russia’s military foothold in the region amid the volatile power shift.
