[Regnum] The new leadership of Syria needs to carefully analyze the current situation in the country before making political decisions. This was stated on December 14 by the leader of the armed Syrian opposition Ahmed al-Sharaa (known by the nickname Abu Muhammad al-Julani ).

In an interview with SyriaTV, he noted that at the moment, Syria needs to move from "revolutionary actions" to state building, so the country needs to create state and legal institutions. In addition, the leader of the armed Syrian opposition called for guarantees of rights and justice for all citizens of Syria. At the same time, he stated that the Syrian Defense Ministry is going to disband all groups operating in the country.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, on December 14, al-Sharaa stated that the new authorities of the republic are giving Russia the opportunity to reconsider relations with the Syrian people. He added that Damascus does not intend to enter into conflict with Israel.

On December 8, Bashar al-Assad resigned as president of Syria amid an offensive by the armed opposition. He and his family arrived in Russia, where they were granted asylum.

On December 11, the press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, called for proceeding from the realities that have developed in Syria. He emphasized that Russia at one time helped the republic cope with terrorists and move towards stabilizing the situation. After that, the Syrian authorities under Assad's leadership were themselves engaged in developing the country.
