Kremlin Refutes Asma al-Assad Divorce Rumors

The Kremlin has denied reports that Asma al-Assad, wife of Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad, plans to divorce or leave Russia. The Assad family, including their son Hafez, sought asylum in Russia after the fall of Damascus.

Asma, who has publicly battled leukemia, is reportedly receiving treatment in Russia. Despite rumors of her assets being frozen and a potential move to London, the Kremlin insists she remains committed to staying in Russia.

Bashar al-Assad, accused of war crimes and human rights abuses, fled Syria amidst rising tensions. The Kremlin's rejection of these divorce rumors underscores the delicate political situation surrounding the Assad family's asylum in Russia.
