EU's Kallas says Assad fall 'positive' and 'long-awaited'

The EU's top diplomat on Sunday hailed the fall of Syria's Bashar al-Assad and said it pointed to the weakness of some of his supporters, including Russia.

"The end of Assad's dictatorship is a positive and long-awaited development. It also shows the weakness of Assad's backers, Russia and Iran," Kaja Kallas said in a post on X.
