Putin says fall of Assad not a 'defeat' for Russia

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that the fall of ex-Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad was not a "defeat" for Russia, claiming Moscow had achieved its goals in the country.

"You want to present what is happening in Syria as a defeat for Russia," Putin said at his annual end-of-year press conference. "I assure you it is not... we have achieved our goals."
