The situation for russians in Syria is deteriorating.

The forces opposed to the russian-backed Assad regime are actively advancing to the south of the country, with the first urban battles taking place in the cities of Hama, Homs, and Suwayda.

The military contingent of the aggressor state of russia fled Hama and evacuated to the Hmeymim base. The head of the russian coordination headquarters in Hmeymim, Colonel-General Alexander Zhuravlev, stated that the situation was out of the Assad regime's control.

The first armed riots broke out in Damascus, and russian military and diplomats began to leave the Syrian capital in a hurry and with urgency.

The russians also fled from the military base in Khan Sheikhun, leaving behind a significant arsenal of weapons and equipment.

On December 1, 2024, russian planes carried out air strikes in the Khan Sheikhoun area, intending to destroy russian military equipment that opposition forces had taken over.

Amid the panicked flight of russian troops, the news of the resignation of the commander of the russian contingent, General Kisel, was widely spread on the Arabic-language social media pages.

Colonel Vadim Baykulov, who commanded a unit of russian special forces, was also recalled to moscow to explain to the leaders why the personnel under his command suffered casualties and military equipment was captured in Aleppo.
