The UN Security Council will urgently meet today, and behind closed doors they will discuss Syria after the fall of President Bashar al-Assad, several diplomatic sources announced yesterday.
The consultations, whose convening was requested by Russia early yesterday, will be held from 15.00:21.00 local time (XNUMX:XNUMX CET).
Syria's government fell early Sunday morning, marking the end of 50 years of rule by the Assad family after a surprise rebel offensive across territory it held and into the capital Damascus.
Deposed President Bashar al-Assad left the country, and Russian media reported that, according to Kremlin sources, Assad and members of his family had been granted political asylum in Russia.
