Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa is set to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Wednesday, according to Syrian media reports.

Private broadcaster Syria TV said al-Sharaa will visit the Russian capital and hold talks with Putin, without providing further details.

The trip will mark al-Sharaa’s second visit to Moscow.

It comes as government forces advance into areas previously controlled by the U.S.-led coalition against Daesh and the YPG-dominated SDF, while the Syrian army has regained full control of Raqqa and Deir ez-Zor provinces, along with large parts of Aleppo and Hasakah.
