Radchenko:
Putin isn’t done yet with the Middle East
It is, however, too early to speak of Putin’s strategic defeat in the Middle East. For now, at least, Russia still has its naval facility at Tartus and an airbase in Hmeimim. It has several thousand servicemen in Syria. It has shown no interest in pulling out, and will likely attempt to hold on to its military facilities.

Putin isn’t done yet with the Middle East
Ten years ago, Putin saved Bashar al-Assad from certain defeat. Russia’s intervention raised Putin’s profile in the Middle East, and gave him some ground to claim that Russia was still a ‘great power’.Sergey Radchenko (The Spectator)
