Desperate call to Putin; here's how Bashar al-Assad was smuggled into Russia, nerve-racking details revealed

Former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad fled the country Syria in the month of December of the year 2024 that too in a severely desperate escape orchestrated with the Russian assistance, reported The US Sun.

According to the former media chief of Syria named Kamel Saqr, the evacuation of Bashar al-Assad actually involved a pretty complex and severely nerve wracking journey from Damascus International Airport to the Russian operated Khmeimim Air Base, asserted The US Sun.

According to The US Sun, the desperate escape was meticulously planned while Bashar al-Assad spent several hours waiting for a secure flight to Moscow. He was eventually accompanied by key government officials which included his sons named Hafez and Karim while highlighting the urgency and personal nature of his departure.


During his final meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad sought huge help to transport military equipment and strengthen the crumbling defenses of his regime.

Additionally, Kamel Saqr also suggested that Russian President Vladimir Putin might have deliberately deceived Bashar al-Assad while noting suspicious circumstances surrounding their meeting. Following the meeting, no joint press statement was issued and Iran received no confirmation about military equipment transportation, noted The US Sun.

Russian President Vladimir Putin sent someone to Bashar al-Assad's residence to actually avoid publicly announcing their meeting while further indicating a potential strategic betrayal.

The escape actually occurred just as rebel forces led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham sweeping through the major cities of Syria entered Damascus. The regime of Bashar al-Assad which had brutally suppressed protests since the year 2011, finally collapsed after 24 years of authoritarian rule while marking a significant turning point in Syrian history.
