Russia Plans High-Level Contacts With Syria

Wednesday, 19 February 2025 07:59 AM EST

Russia is planning to hold high-level contacts with Syria in the near future, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Wednesday.

President Vladimir Putin spoke by phone with Syria's interim leader Ahmed al-Sharaa on Feb. 12, the first direct communication between the two since Sharaa's forces overthrew Moscow's ally Bashar al-Assad in December.

Russia is hoping to retain the use of two military bases in Syria.
