Kremlin denies Asma al-Assad seeking divorce or London exile

Bashar al-Assad fled to Moscow earlier this month after a lightning rebel advance brought an end to his family's 50-year rule.

In a statement attributed to Assad on Telegram, he later insisted he had been forced to leave Syria after his position at a Russian-controlled air-base came "under intensified attack by drone strikes".

His family has ties to Russia, with relatives owning tens of millions of dollars' worth of properties there.
