According to a report by the Global Times on October 14, at a press conference the day before, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov refuted the rumor of the suspected poisoning case of fugitive former Syria President Bashar, denying that Assad had been poisoned.

Lavrov said that because Assad's family faced death threats in Syria, Russia allowed him to go into exile for humanitarian reasons. At present, Bashar and his family still live safely in Moscow without any problems. I hope the outside world can judge the motives of rumor spreaders by itself.

According to the news source, the news about Bashar's poisoning came from the report of SOHR, a Syrian observation organization headquartered in Britain, in early October. At that time, the organization quoted anonymous sources as saying that Bashar was poisoned and immediately sent to a hospital in Moscow, Russia for emergency treatment, and was discharged soon after.

The report claimed that the drugged murderer had been caught by the Russian security agency and admitted in the hearing that he wanted to blame Russia for the deaths.

In fact, the purpose of spreading Bashar's poisoning in Russia in the West is mainly to sow discord, disintegrate the trust of pro-Russian political partners by implying that Russia can't protect its political allies who have lost their use value, or deliberately kill donkeys, thus weakening Russia's political influence.

For the outside world, as the former Soviet Union and Russia for 50 years political allies in the Middle East, what Bashar will eventually get, will play a decisive role in the future international image of Russia, it is clear that as long as Bashar is alive, there will still be a political surplus value for Russia, so the Russian side has not enough interests driven to proactively act at its own disadvantage.

Now, with Bashar losing all political status, the former president, who wanted to be a dentist, found his home, which is daily under the protection of guards hired by the Russian government, in the three-room plateau in the center of Moscow, and in the large villas in the suburbs, addicted to video games flowing back and forth.

Obviously, no matter what Bashar's final outcome will be, it has been deeply bound to Russia's political and diplomatic image. If Assad has any trouble, the most beneficial thing is not Russia, but the western countries that are eager to weaken Russia.
