The Russian president has visited the Hmeymim base in Syria's Latakia for the first time since the launch of the anti-terrorist operation at the request of President Bashar Assad. The Russian leader has emphasized that if the terrorists gain the upper hand in Syria, Russian forces will carry out strikes the likes of which "they've never seen."
President Vladimir Putin has ordered the Russian troops' withdrawal from Syria, saying that Russian forces return from Syria with the victory. The Russian president has glorified the work of the country's aerospace units in the region by saying that they had performed "brilliantly" in Syria.
"I instruct the defense minister, the head of the General Staff to begin the withdrawal of the Russian group of troops to the places of their permanent location," Putin said, when speaking to servicemen in Syria.
The Russian leader has emphasized that if terrorists gain upper hand in Syria, Russian forces will carry out strikes that "they've never seen", adding that two Russian bases, in Tartus and Hmeymim would continue to operate.
The Russian president has underlined that with the help of Russia's military operation, Syria has been preserved as an independent and sovereign state, adding that conditions for the political settlement in Syria under the auspices of the UN have been created and the refugees, which had to flee their homes, might return.
Vladimir Putin has touched upon the work of Russian defense industry enterprises and armed forces, which had demonstrated the growing capabilities of the country's navy and army, high combat skills of units and divisions.
Putin has been met by Syrian President Bashar Assad, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, when he arrived at the Hmeymim base in the Latakia province for the first time since the launch of the anti-terrorist operation in the Arab Republic at the request of Damascus in 2015.
