Part 3/6:
Once a staunch supporter of the Assad regime, Russia appears to be reconsidering its position. A source close to the Kremlin has indicated that President Vladimir Putin is feeling frustrated with Assad, particularly as reports confirm that regime troops continue to abandon their posts. Despite the historical alliance, it seems that Russia has no immediate plans to intervene and rescue Assad from his deteriorating circumstances.
Pressure from Neighbors
The pressure on Assad to resign has also been mounting from regional players. Both Egypt and Jordan are reportedly urging him to step down and consider forming a government in exile. This external pressure highlights the shifting dynamics in the region as neighboring countries reassess their policies in relation to the ongoing conflict.
