russia failed to agree on the future of its two bases in Syria. Damascus\u2019 Foreign Ministry announced the suspension and rejection of agreements made under the previous regime and signaled a review of cooperation formats. Despite \u201cfriendship offers\u201d and high-level visits, no new agreements with russia have been reached.<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0f kremlin propaganda tries to portray these contacts as a \u201cdiplomatic success,\u201d but the facts show the opposite. Syria publicly distances itself from previous commitments, prioritizing the interests of its citizens and rejecting concessions that limit sovereignty. Syrian leaders, once labeled \u201ccriminals\u201d in russia, are now received in moscow\u2014but still nothing is agreed.<\/p>\n
The goal of kremlin disinformation is to mask the actual loss of influence in the region by creating the illusion of partnership. In reality, the uncertainty over the bases exposes the vulnerability of russia\u2019s military-political presence in Syria and narrows its leverage over allies. The current situation shows that without real agreements and respect for partners\u2019 sovereignty, kremlin PR campaigns fail.<\/p>\n
