Sybiga on the fall of the Assad regime: Putin always betrays

The fall of the regime of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad is natural: he relied on the help of his Russian "colleague" Vladimir Putin, and the latter always betrays those who trust him. It is now important to do everything possible to restore stability and security in the country and the region as a whole and to protect Syrians from violence.

This was stated by the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andriy Sybiga. The diplomat added that our country is ready to start moving towards restoring relations with Syria under the new government and supports the Syrian people.

The head of Ukrainian diplomacy noted that the Kremlin, as always, has left another of its situational "allies" to its fate.

"Assad has fallen. This has always been the case with all dictators who rely on Putin. He always betrays those who rely on him. Now the main goal is to restore security in Syria and effectively protect people from violence," Sybiga emphasized.

For now, he said, the international community should help stabilize the situation in Syria. At the same time, Sybiga sees prerequisites for the resumption of relations between Ukraine and Syria in the future.

"Every effort should be made to stabilize the region, to ensure an inclusive political dialogue in Syria for the sake of functioning state institutions. We express our readiness to pave the way for the resumption of relations in the future and reaffirm our support for the Syrian people," he emphasized.

On the morning of December 8, the world learned that Syrian rebels had overthrown the Assad regime. The dictator himself disappeared the night before, and then the Russian Foreign Ministry said that he had allegedly agreed to peacefully transfer power "after negotiations." Russian "diplomats" also assured that Russian troops in Syria were "in no danger."

Meanwhile, the DIU said that Lavrov's department is being somewhat disingenuous, because after the capture of Damascus, the rebels are moving to the coast, and the Russians are shamefully fleeing their bases in Syria.
