Assad breaks silence from Moscow

Syria's ousted leader Bashar Assad says he wanted to keep fighting but Russians evacuated him

Ousted Syrian President Bashar Assad said in a statement Monday he wanted to stay in the country after rebels captured the capital Damascus a week ago, but the Russian military evacuated him from their base in western Syria after it came under attack.
The article from MSN discusses how former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who was ousted from power, revealed in an interview that he wished to continue fighting against the opposition forces but was evacuated by his Russian allies. Assad mentioned that despite his desire to stay and lead the resistance, the decision to remove him was made by Russia, which had been a key supporter of his regime during the Syrian Civil War. This evacuation was part of a broader strategy by Russia to manage the conflict and possibly to negotiate from a position of having secured Assad's safety. The article also touches on the implications of Assad's removal, including the ongoing power vacuum and the complex geopolitical dynamics involving Russia, Turkey, and other international players in the Syrian conflict.
