RUSSIANS Are Fleeing SYRIA - Moscow making contingency plans for a possible future EVACUATION

Moscow has been one of President Bashar al-Assad's closest allies during the conflict in Syria.

But it has admitted making contingency plans for a possible future evacuation.
Such an operation would almost certainly involve the Russian navy, says the BBC's Steve Rosenberg in Moscow.
