The Pentagon commented on the withdrawal of the Russian contingent from Syria
Recall, on Monday, Vladimir Putin ordered the start of the withdrawal from Syria of a significant part of the Russian military contingent. Speaking in Hmeimim, he noted that in a little over two years, Russian troops, together with the Syrian army, defeated the most efficient group of terrorists.
The full release of Syria from the IG group (banned in the Russian Federation) was announced on December 6 by the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Army General Valery Gerasimov. At the same time, two bases of the Russian military remain in Syria - Hmeimim airbase and a navy support point in Tartus.
Major General Reserve, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Association of Reserve Officers Armed Forces (MEGAPIR) Vladimir Bogatyrev:
Now, according to the expert, the task is to localize provocative actions by the armed opposition, which, in fact, is terrorist (we are talking about the formations that cooperate with groups recognized as terrorist in many countries of the world).
