The high-stakes negotiations, facilitated by the United Arab Emirates, mark a critical moment in ongoing efforts to ease tensions between the two nations.The freed Russian soldiers were initially transferred to Belarus for medical care, psychological support, and the chance to reconnect with their families. They will subsequently return to Russia for further rehabilitation. Ukrainian troops, also released in equal numbers, were returned from Russian captivity as part of the carefully coordinated exchange.

In a dramatic turn of events, Syrian Prime Minister Mohammed Ghazi Jalali declared on Sunday that the government is prepared to "extend its hand" to the opposition and facilitate a peaceful transfer of power to a transitional government. This announcement comes as rebel forces claim to have fully entered Damascus and seized key locations, including the notorious Saydnaya Military Prison. With intense clashes reported in the capital, the opposition has declared the city "free" from Bashar al-Assad, amid widespread speculation that the Syrian president has fled the country, possibly seeking refuge in the UAE. Jalali, however, remains in the capital, continuing his duties while urging citizens to avoid vandalizing public property. The developments suggest a significant shift in Syriaâs 13-year civil war, with the future of Assadâs regime hanging in the balance.
