Putin’s forces were there more for PR purposes and had a fairly minimal presence. Hezbollah were the biggest contingent holding up the crumbling Asad regime as part of the Iranian commitment to upholding the Syrian regime. Turkey were holding HTS off while hoping to form better relations with the Asad regime, but Asad dragged his heels and Erdogan essentially paved the way. The Asad regime has just melted away with each contact HTS made.
The Free Syrian Army (FSA) are now reanimated and SDR (essentially the PKK/YPG) continue to hold Raqqa. The Asad regime now just hold the nominally alawite territorries.
