Against the backdrop of the fall of the regime of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, Russia may transfer its military from Syria to Ukraine. However, their number will not significantly affect the front. This is reported by the head of the Center for countering disinformation under the national security and Defense Council Andriy Kovalenko, writes UNN.
As of the summer of 2024, before the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime, there were about 6,000-7,500 Russian soldiers in Syria, including representatives of private military companies,,

According to him, even if all Russian units that were in Syria are transferred to the war against Ukraine, this will not significantly affect the situation at the front.
Accordingly, even if all these military personnel are transferred to the Russian Federation and then sent to war against Ukraine, this will not significantly affect the situation at the front, given the rather high daily losses of the Russian army in assault operations.,
In addition, according to him, part of the troops that were stationed in Syria, Russia can send to Africa, where its interests also remain strategically important.
recall
Syrian rebels, who have made significant progress in their offensive since last week, announced on December 8 the capture of the capital Damascus and reported the fall of ruler Bashar al-Assad. Assad himself fled to Russia.
Former Idlib Development Minister Muhammad al-Bashir has been appointed Head of the Syrian transitional government. He has already held meetings with the leader of the KHTS and the former Prime Minister of the Assad era to form a new cabinet.
