“La tarea encomendada al ministerio de Defensa y a las fuerzas armadas ha sido cumplida por lo que ordené al ministerio de Defensa que a partir de mañana comience el retiro de la mayor parte de los contingentes militares de la República Árabe de Siria”, dijo Putin al ministro, Sergei Shoigu, en un comentario televisado.
