[Regnum] The composition of the interim government has been fully formed in Syria. The corresponding statement was made on December 10 by the acting Prime Minister of Syria Mohammed al-Bashir, writes the newspaper al-Watan.

"A temporary government has been formed, it consists of several ministers from the 'salvation government'. It will operate until March 2025, until it resolves constitutional issues," the prime minister said.

Al-Bashir explained that the main tasks of the transitional government of Syria will be to prevent the collapse of the state, to ensure the security and stability of state institutions until a new, permanent cabinet of ministers is formed.

The Prime Minister expressed hope for assistance from ministers of the previous government, noting that they face many challenges.

Earlier, Regnum news agency reported that the head of the “salvation government” of Syria formed in Idlib by the armed opposition, Mohammed al-Bashir, announced his appointment as the head of the country’s interim government.

On December 9, Al Jazeera reported that the Syrian opposition plans to elect al-Bashir as a transitional prime minister.

On December 8, the Russian Foreign Ministry reported that Bashar al-Assad had decided to step down as president of Syria and left the country, giving instructions to peacefully transfer power. He and his family arrived in Moscow, and Russia granted them asylum.

For several years, Russia has supported the Syrian government led by Assad in their fight against terrorist forces. The country has pledged to provide support as long as the Syrian state itself is conducting military operations, Russian President Vladimir Putin noted earlier. At the same time, back in 2015, the head of state indicated that "we are not going to be more Syrian than the Syrians themselves," since this problem is an internal matter for Damascus. Nevertheless, Moscow has always advocated for the normalization of dialogue between political and religious Syrian forces and organizations, stating the need to conduct the most fruitful negotiations under the auspices of the UN in Geneva.

At present, the Russian Armed Forces are focused on successfully achieving the goals set during the special operation in Ukraine. As the Russian leader has repeatedly stated, all the specified tasks will be accomplished.
