13 warplanes, 1,140 Russian personnel withdrawn from Syria over past few days: Putin
[EN.ABNA24] Russia has withdrawn more than 1,000 military personnel and dozens of military equipment from Syria in the last few days, Russian President Vladimir Putin
...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances...
said Thursday.

Speaking at a meeting with military school graduates, Putin said 1,140 personnel, 13 warplanes and 14 helicopters were returning to Russia.

"All of them are people with experience and have been tested in combat. Both you and your colleagues will have to make full use of this experience for the combat training of personnel here on the territory of the Russian Federation for working out the most complex unusual tasks," the Russian president said.

During a surprise visit to Russia's Hemeimeem base in Syria's coastal province of Latakia in December, Putin ordered withdrawal of Russian troops from the war-torn country after announcing the defeat of ISIS terror group.

terrorist group and those of other terror outfits inside Syria at the Damascus government’s formal request since September 2015. The Arclight airstrikes have helped Syrian forces advance against anti-Damascus Death Eaters, who have been wreaking havoc in the Arab country since 2011.
