Russian President Vladimir Putin personally decided to grant asylum to former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his relatives, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said during a briefing.

His statement confirmed earlier reports that Assad had fled to Moscow following the collapse of his regime in Syria on December 8. The day before, an unnamed Kremlin source had shared this information with state news agencies.

Peskov added that he would not provide further details about Assad’s whereabouts and noted that no meeting with Assad is scheduled on Putin’s official agenda.
