Deputy Russian FM Mikhail Bogdanov told Saudi paper al-Watan that Syrian President Assad’s brother Maher lost his legs in the Damascus National Security System building last month, and has been fighting for his life. “Since the bombing, Maher’s absence, and the death of senior Syrian security officials, the situation in Syria has rapidly and dangerously deteriorated. President Assad is ready to resign.”
