Vladimir Putin has personally assured Bashar al-Assad that Russia will not let the Syrian government lose the civil war, according to a senior MP who recently met the Syrian dictator.
During a visit to Damascus as part of a fact-finding mission, the Conservative MP David Davis held face-to-face talks with President Assad.
He told the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show that the Syrian leader discussed the motives behind President Putin’s partial withdrawal of military forces from the country, after Russian troops proved instrumental in turning the tide of the war in favour of the regime.
“The Russian intervention completely put the Syrian army back on its feet. I asked him why [Putin] downscaled it,” Mr Davis said.
