Source Kallas on X Twitter, as reported by European Pravda Details Kallas described the fall of the Assad tyranny as positive and longawaited development.
It also shows the weakness of Assads backers, Russia and Iran, she remarked.
Kallas emphasised that the EUs top goal was regional security.
To this purpose, she said, it would collaborate with all constructive partners, both in Syria and throughout the region.
I am in close contact with Ministers from the region.
The process of rebuilding Syria will be long and complicated and all parties must be ready to engage constructively, Kallas emphasised. Background On the morning of 8 December, the Syrian rebels announced that they had captured the Syrian capital, Damascus.
They said state institutions would remain under the supervision of the former prime minister until the formal transfer of power was complete.
On Sunday afternoon, the Russian Foreign Ministry, which is associated with the Syrian dictatorship, published a statement claiming that Assad had left his position and fled the country.
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock emphasised that Syria should not fall into the hands of other radicals following Assads departure.
French President Emmanuel Macron stated that the barbaric state has fallen, and that France will stay dedicated to the security of everyone in the Middle East.
