Russian officials have been forced to issue a statement after reports emerged suggesting the wife of ousted Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad was seeking a divorce.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov also rejected media reports suggesting Bashar al-Assad had been confined to Moscow and had assets frozen.

"No, they do not correspond to reality," Kremlin spokesman Peskov tells reporters on media reports about UK-born Asma, who reportedly wants to file for divorce from ousted Syrian regime leader Bashar

Since the fall of his regime, the Syrian dictator has joined family and relatives who were already in Russia. For years, the Assad clan has been transferring and investing a large amount of money in Moscow.

Assad, who has British citizenship, is currently exiled in Moscow with the former Syrian dictator but reportedly wants to move to London.

Reports from Turkish and British claimed that Asma al-Assad was encouraged by her mother to file for divorce because of poor conditions in Russia, coupled with a lack of adequate leukemia treatment
