Syria has demanded reparations from Russia in order to "rebuild trust" after a meeting between Damascus' new administration and a Moscow delegation, according to local news sources.
Russia and Syria's meeting to discuss future relations comes as Moscow looks to retain its two military bases in the Middle Eastern country.

In the meeting on January 28, Russia expressed its support for the changes taking place in Syria and Damascus' new administration pushed for reparations through "compensation, reconstruction, and recovery," according to the Syrian Arab News Agency. The two countries also spoke about finding "mechanisms for transitional justice aimed at ensuring accountability and achieving justice for the victims of the brutal war waged by the Assad regime."
Syria also stressed that Russia must "address past mistakes" and "respect the will of the Syrian people and serve their interests."

If they cannot retain the two military bases, Russia will lose its foothold in the Middle East and Mediterranean. Management of the Tartous naval base has already been revoked from Russia and allocated to Syria when the country terminated a 49-year investment contract with Moscow.
In return for retaining the military bases, a Syrian source familiar with the discussions told Reuters that Sharaa requested Russia return Assad, who fled to Moscow and sought asylum after his regime was ousted in December. When asked to confirm if Syria had requested Russia return Assad and provide compensation, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov declined to comment.

Russia pay reparations? Ahhh, no. Not only no but hell no.
It would be setting a standard for every Tom, Dick & Mohamed to squeeze money out of anyone.
If that’s the case then we should be paying reps for slaves, Afghanistan, Iraq to name a few.
Think of the weapons they could buy to launch attacks at Israel if Russia caves.
Again, no way Jose!
> Russia pay reparations? <
It would make sense only if the “reparations” were actually a form of influence-buying. We’ll do this for you. Then you do that for us.
America is the only country stupid enough to pay reparations for the sake of reparations. Everyone else will have ulterior motives.
The Syrian government might be given Assad’s money.
The Russians will wait until they’re sure the Syrian government will continue to hold power.
The Russians really don’t need a naval base in Syria because the Ukrainians have made it clear that the Russian surface fleet is only likely to be useful for fish habitat.
One-liner trolling won't fill the Special Syria Sock, marcus.
