Rex Tillerson says Russia can either keep backing Assad as he faces defeat or side with the US to secure Syria’s future after declaring ‘the reign of the Assad family is coming to an end’.
The US Secretary of State, who is preparing for crunch talks in Moscow, says the Kremlin must now choose between aligning itself with the U.S. and like-minded countries or embracing Assad, Iran and the militant group Hezbollah.
It comes as G7 nations agreed that Syrian president Bashar al-Assad must step down as part of any peace solution in the war-torn country.
