The US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Syria and the Levant in the Middle East Ministry, Ethan Das Goldrich, made new statements regarding Assad's fate in light of the Russian withdrawal from Syria.

 He added, "The United States of America certainly does not support normalization with the Assad regime and does not support attempts to give it legitimacy."

It is worth noting that the Assad regime, with Russian diplomatic support, carried out bloody massacres using chemical weapons, killing thousands of innocent civilians, in complete silence of the international community, America and Europe.
