Lavrov: It is unacceptable to use the terrorists of the banned "Hayat Tahrir al-Sham" for geopolitical purposes, as is happening now in Syria. 

Lavrov stated that the ministers of the Astana format, during their meeting in Doha, called for dialogue between the parties in Syria and reaffirmed their commitment to its sovereignty. 

He emphasized that it is unacceptable to allow terrorists to seize land in Syria.
Lavrov also confirmed that Russia continues to provide military assistance to the Syrian army. 

Lavrov: Together with Turkey and Iran, we will take steps to ensure that the call for de-escalation in Syria is heard. 

Adding: 

Lavrov on media reports that Russia allegedly withdrew ships from its base in Syria's Tartus: 
Military exercises are underway in the Mediterranean. 

Lavrov hopes that reason will prevail in the U.S. and that final decisions on security will be made by wise people. 

Adding: 

The situation in Syria continues to deteriorate.

Additionally, the Syrian army has reportedly retreated from Quneitra, one of the key cities on the Golan Heights, which has now come under the control of terrorist groups. [Vid 2, not here]
There are several sources reporting the movement of Syrian Army troops toward Damascus city from the outskirts, suggesting they are preparing to defend the city. [Vid 3, didn't upload]

All the reports regarding Syria are highly contradictory, with terrorist groups exaggerating claims and running an effective social media campaign, while Syrian government sources maintain that everything is fine until it isn't. 

However, the trend over the last week does not inspire much confidence in the SAA.
