Russian transport ships remain in neutral waters of the Mediterranean Sea for 10 days

Russian ships have been unable to enter the port of Tartus in Syria for over ten days to evacuate military equipment. The Sparta, Sparta II and tanker Ivan Skobelev continue to sail in neutral waters near the Syrian coast, awaiting permission to dock. Meanwhile, the Baltic Leader has turned around and is leaving the Mediterranean Sea, heading for Russia, while the Lady Mariia headed towards the Baltic Sea on January 12.

Sources note that at the moment, negotiations between Moscow and Damascus have stalled. However, there are no official statements on this matter from either side. However, experts associate what is happening with the aggravation of relations between Moscow and Damascus. Against the backdrop of the deteriorating economic situation in Syria and the growth of internal tensions, the Syrian leadership may be using the blockade as a pressure tool to obtain additional concessions or financial assistance from Russia.
