President-elect of the United States, Donald Trump assured this Sunday that the former President of Syria Bashar al-Assad left his country because his ally, the Russian President, Vladimir Putin is “no longer interested in protecting him.”

“Assad is gone. He fled his country. His patron, Russia, led by Vladimir Putin, was no longer interested in protecting him. Russia had no reason to be there at all. “They have lost all interest in Syria because of Ukraine, where nearly 600,000 Russian soldiers lie wounded or dead in a war that should never have started,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

The Assad family regime, which has ruled the Arab country since 1971, collapsed this Sunday at the hands of the rebelsMost Islamists, led by the Levant Liberation Organization (Hayat Tahrir al-Sham or HTS, in Arabic), took Damascus without much resistance after just 12 days of offensive.

Bashar al-Assad fled the country on a “special” plane, according to the non-governmental organization Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and Human Rights. his whereabouts are unknownwhile the military operations command of the coalition of Islamist and pro-Turkish groups responsible for its fall declared Damascus “free from the tyrant Bashar al-Assad.”

Trump directly linked the fall of Assad, supported by Iran and Russia, with the war in Ukraine, which forced Moscow to reduce its military presence in Syria, where they settled when the war began in 2011 in support of the Damascus regime.

“Russia and Iran are now very weakened. one for Ukraine and the poor economy, and the other for Israel and its military successes,” explained the next American president, who will take office in the White House on January 20 with a promise “stop the wars”

Trump noted that the Ukrainian president Vladimir Zelensky “ridiculously” requested 400 thousand soldiers and “stop the madness” of war.

“It is necessary to immediately cease fire and begin negotiations. “Too many lives are being wasted, too many families are being destroyed, and if this continues, it could turn out to be something much worse,” Trump said of the war in Ukraine.

“I know Vladimir (Putin) well. Now is your time to act. China can help. “The world is waiting!” – he added.

Trump met with Zelensky on Saturday. at a meeting in which the French head of state also participated as moderator, Emmanuel Macronwho invited them to celebrate the opening of Notre-Dame de Paris.
