Kremlin says it is in contact with new Syrian leadership over Russian bases

The Kremlin says it is in contact with the new Syrian leadership over the fate of Russia’s military bases in the country, following the overthrow of Moscow’s ally Bashar al-Assad.

“We are in contact with those who control the situation in Syria,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov tells reporters. “This is necessary since our [military] base and diplomatic mission are there.”
