Russia Resupplies Military Bases in Syria for First Time Under New Deal The arrival of a Russian convoy at Tartous port in Syria has reignited debate about Moscow's military presence in the region.
The shipment included supplies and equipment destined for both the Hmeimim air base and Tartous port, marking the first resupply under the new agreement with Damascus since August.
The memorandum of understanding announced in early August after 18 months of negotiations aims to convert the two facilities into joint training and capacity building centers.
