    James Jeffrey says Moscow is fully backing Damascus and Ahmed al-Sharaa based on Russian sources. He notes Assad is viewed as an embarrassment in the region. The former U.S. Special Envoy to Syria states the ex-leader is no longer a factor in current dynamics.

    What do you think is going to happen to Bashar al-Assad? He's been living in Moscow for nearly two years now. Obviously, you've mentioned that he's got that in absentia death penalty. Do you think perhaps he might emerge as a bargaining chip used in this relationship by the Syrians? I do not think so. My information from Russian sources is, look, we're all in with Damascus and al-Shara. Assad is just an embarrassment, but Russia doesn't abandon its farmer friends, so he'll sit there. But he's not a factor anymore, and I believe them on this.
