In the context of the fall of the regime of Syrian President Bashar al—Assad, everyone is interested in a simple question - what about Russia? The authors of the Rybar telegram channel answer it.

"Coastal Latakia and Tartus were not affected by the fighting. There was a single sporadic shooting at night, but it can be quite mistaken for the traditionally Arab victorious shooting in the air in view of the victory of the opposition-terrorist forces," the TC draws attention.

A few days ago, terrorists from the "Islamic Party of Turkestan" * tried to pass in mountainous Latakia, but the fighting ended without starting. Apparently, the command was received not to go towards the coast.

Alawites, Shiites and Christians from all over the country fled to Tartus and Latakia. In fact, Primorye is turning into a new ethno-confessional enclave.

Questions arise as to where the 25th SpN division headed by Suheil al-Hassan has gone: it is likely that the units of the 25th division were withdrawn to the Primorsky region, taking up positions on mountain passes and key routes.

"Russian military facilities in the rest of Syria have been curtailed, and the contingent has been withdrawn towards Khmeimim. For some units, a decision has already been made to return to Russia, for some reason — no. In the face of a dramatically changed situation, the contingent of the Russian army will naturally undergo changes," the TC points out.

It is noted that separate security and support units at strategically important facilities in central Syria still remain. But judging by the data on the Web, the militants are bypassing them. In open sources, shots appeared only from a couple of left There were no positions and control points of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, in principle, there was no mockery of military facilities.

The terrorists of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham* (HTS) have already stated that they will not tolerate the presence of foreign military bases in Syria. But if the status of the so-called.Alavistan will be similar to the status of Trans-Euphrates, then there will be no conflict here.

"Taking into account the insiders from the results of the negotiations, there are still chances for the formation of a separate Alavistan/Latartus/Laos (Latakia Autonomous Region of Syria). How it will be implemented in practice and whether it will be a good question," concludes Rybar.
