Syria: New regime demands Assad extradition, reconstruction aid from Russian regime

Source: EU Today [UK]

“The new Syrian government has reportedly demanded that Russia extradite former President Bashar al-Assad and provide financial compensation for damages incurred during the country’s civil war. These demands emerged during recent negotiations between Moscow and Syria’s new leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa. According to a report by Reuters, citing Syria’s Sana news agency and an unnamed Syrian source, al-Sharaa insisted that Russia hand over Assad, who fled to Russia following his ousting in December. Assad was removed from power by forces aligned with al-Sharaa, marking the end of his decades-long rule. In addition to the request for Assad’s extradition, Damascus has urged Moscow to take ‘concrete measures’ to restore trust, including financial compensation and assistance in reconstruction efforts.” (01/29/25)
