Syrian regime collapse forces Russian military withdrawal
The Russians have lost the support of the Syrian regime and need to leave their bases. Videos circulating online show Russian aircraft flying from Syria to airports in the Russian Federation. Meanwhile, ground forces are moving toward the Humaymim airbase, which remains under Russian control.
Moscow is responding to the revolution in Syria. Russian troops are no longer welcome after the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad's regime. The dictator fled with his family to the Russian Federation. Many Russian soldiers will also have to follow his path and evacuate from Syria.
Photos published by Ukrainian military intelligence show the large-scale evacuation of Russian armed forces. In the photos and videos shared on the X platform, columns of vehicles with Russian soldiers are seen heading to the Humaymim base, which remains under Moscow's control.
Russia evacuates from Syria amid nervous military movements
On December 15, columns of troops of the occupying country continued to move from the depths of Syria to the bases in Hmeymim and Tartus, reports Nexta on social media.
But that's not all. The Russians have not only regrouped their forces within Syria; they are also trying to station all the soldiers there. Equipment belonging to the Russian Federation is being transported by military aircraft.
Russian military transport aircraft continued to shuttle from Syria to airfields in the Russian Federation, in particular to Makhachkala, Chkalovsk and Nizhny Novgorod, reported the Nexta profile on the X platform.
Notably, Russia has been guaranteeing the security of Bashar al-Assad's regime since 2011. Experts believe that Moscow's weakening due to clashes with Ukraine led to destabilization and the regime's downfall.
