Part 6/8:
Given the evolving landscape, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's recent comments during an interview have drawn attention. While he avoided directly condemning Turkey's actions, he indicated a desire for diplomatic solutions to the crisis in Syria, despite Erdogan's ambitions for the rebels to capitalize on their momentum.
Lavrov's remarks suggest an acknowledgment of the complexities Russia faces in maintaining its position. Amid growing calls from neighboring countries for Assad to establish a government in exile, coupled with the reluctance of Russia to continue providing military support, it appears that the Assad regime's fate hangs in the balance.
