Bashar Assad's Escape from Syria: Intelligence Reports New Details.

Ukrainian Intelligence: Russia Used Disinformation About Assad to Cover Up Its Operation

The loss of signal from the plane with Assad on board was a cover for a Russian operation, not a shooting down or aviation accident. This was reported by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

It is assumed that the loss of control over Assad's plane was a result of the crew following Russian instructions.

The situation of the Russian contingent in Syria continues to deteriorate. Ukrainian intelligence reports that Russian troops are quickly evacuating from the country.

The first to leave the territory of Syria were Russian troops, including the newly appointed commander Alexander Chayko, who worked in the position for only one week.

Russia is using ships from the Baltic Fleet to transport weapons, equipment, and personnel.

Earlier, rebels reported the capture of Damascus and the fall of Assad's government.

The plane with Assad left Damascus and disappeared from radar at an altitude of 495 meters. The media suggests that it may have been shot down or crashed, but there is also the possibility that the pilot turned off the sensors before the emergency landing.

Russia is also withdrawing ships from the base in Tartus and transferring leftover weapons by planes from Khmeimim in Syria.
