Vershinin said during an interview: “The Russian presence, including the military presence, plays a role in stabilizing the situation in Syria and beyond, and in the region as a whole.” He affirmed that Russia still believes its bases in Syria can be used to deliver humanitarian aid to Syria.
Earlier, the Syrian Foreign Minister, Asaad Al-Shibani, and Kremlin spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, stated that the topic of Russian military bases was on the agenda of the talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Syrian transitional president, Ahmed Al-Sharaa, who visited Moscow in mid-October.
