Syrian authorities in talks with Russia demanded Assad’s extradition - Reuters
Representatives of the new Syrian government held talks with the Russian side.
According to Censor.NET, this was reported by Reuters.
Thus, the new leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, demanded that Moscow extradite Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, who fled to Russia in December.
The Syrian side also raised the issue of "compensation" during talks with the official Russian delegation.
Asked to confirm whether Russia was asked to return Assad and pay compensation, Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov declined to comment.
A Syrian source told Reuters that the Russians did not want to admit such mistakes, and the only agreement reached was to continue negotiations.
