Russian President, Vladimir Putin and Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad have met in Moscow to discuss cooperation between their militaries.
The meeting between the two presidents was the first since they held a summit in the Syrian capital in January last year.
Al-Assad’s most powerful ally in the decade-long Syrian conflict, Putin last received the Syrian leader in Russia in 2018.
Russia’s air force played a critical role in turning the tide of the Syrian war in al-Assad’s favour after it deployed there in 2015, helping him recover most territory lost to armed groups.
