Russian forces in Syria are relinquishing control of two strategic military bases located on the Mediterranean coast, following 18 months of negotiations between Damascus and Moscow. Under a newly established agreement announced by Syria's Foreign Ministry, the facilities will transition from exclusive Russian military outposts into joint Russian-Syrian training centers.

The accord marks a notable shift in the bilateral relationship between Syria and Russia, which has historically functioned as Damascus's primary political and military ally.
