Observance of the truce between the opposition and government forces of air and space forces of Russia is monitored by intelligence agents, including radio-electronic, satellite constellation, as well as more than 70 drones. Now the battle on the battlefield has moved to the diplomatic field.

“Sergey Viktorovich, how peace process going?” – Asked the President of the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

“Dear Vladimir Vladimirovich! The operation of our air and space forces, in addition to the results that have been achieved on the ground directly in military action to suppress terrorism, and contributed to the creation of conditions for the political process.

An international team of Syrian support has been established, which includes all without exclusion of key players, including regional powers. and understanding that in this group have been reached on the parameters of the Syrian political process, were approved two resolutions of the UN Security Council, which approved a three-pronged process of the cessation of hostilities, access of humanitarian supplies in the previously locked areas and the beginning mezhsiriyskih negotiations “, – said Sergey Lavrov.

“Russia in a short time established in Syria small in number, but very effective military forces, and the unified forces and means – that cosmic intelligence, and unmanned aerial vehicles, martial drums complexes as fighter aircraft and attack aircraft, the forces of the Military Navy-Navy, which used the most modern weapons with the waters of the two seas – and the Mediterranean, and Caspian, and worked with both the submarines and the submarine.

We have created a powerful air defense system, including the advanced S-400. Indeed, the effective work of our military has created conditions for the beginning of the peace process. I believe that the tasks assigned to the Ministry of Defence and the Armed Forces as a whole, fulfilled, so I order the defense minister tomorrow to begin withdrawing the main part of our military factions from the Syrian Arab Republic.

I ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation to intensify participation in the organization of the peace process reach a settement  of the Syrian problem. In addition, our points-based – in the marine and aviation Tartus Hmeymim at the airport – will operate as usual. It must be protected from land, sea and air “, – summed up Vladimir Putin.

Following the withdrawal of the main part of the group, the Russian side will retain in Syria point to ensure flights. It was agreed the night before Vladimir Putin and Syrian President Bashar Assad. In a telephone conversation the leaders noted that the Russian aviation actions allowed radically change the situation in the fight against terrorists, causing them considerable damage.

Representatives of the Syrian opposition news of the withdrawal of the main part of the Russian group found just in Geneva during the starters mezhsiriyskih indirect peace talks. Representatives of the opposition said that it will give a positive impetus to the negotiations, the door to a political settlement opened even wider.

One of the first decision on the withdrawal of the main part of the Russian group from Syria responded and the British Foreign Office, commented on Twitter.

“Russia’s actions can be positive, if they are part of a real commitment to political changes and an end to military action”, – stated in the UK.

Not spared this issue and Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop in a meeting with his Iranian counterpart.

“At this stage, we welcome this decision, we hope it means Russian conviction that the ceasefire in the area of ​​the Syrian conflict will continue.”, – She said.

The most common reaction is laconic almost all. This news, we can say, caught by surprise.

“The announcement looks like Vladimir Putin to withdraw troops from Syria, was a surprise to the White House and has revived fears that the Russian leader beats Barack Obama. Quick Russia’s withdrawal from Syria would be stumped Obama Doctrine that Putin was going to get into a “quagmire “civil war in the country and would continue to regret it,” – says “politics.”

On the eve of the press secretary of the White House, responding to a question about the message marked “zip”, he had to improvise. Apparently, nothing like that with the leadership had never discussed even close, so how to react, it was not clear, and after each rquestion had to take a break.

“I have not seen those particular posts, but obviously, we talked about how the continuing Russian military intervention to support the Assad regime complicates the process of political transition of power. So I did not see the messages, and it is difficult to evaluate how this decision will affect negotiations have to see what are the Russian intentions, “- said Josh Ernest, interrupting his speech with numerous pauses.

As it became known later, Vladimir Putin informed Obama about the decision. The Russian head of state noted the importance of coordinating the efforts of Russia and the United States to settle in Syria.

“It was stated that the Russian-American initiative, supported by the UN Security Council Resolution 2268 has allowed to drastically reduce the scale of the bloodshed on Syrian land. The Russian president said that after the implementation of the main tasks of the Russian Armed Forces to combat international terrorism, the decision on withdrawal of . Syria’s main part aviagruppirovki aerospace forces This, of course, will be a good signal to all parties to the conflict and create conditions for the start of a real peace process, “- said in a statement on the Kremlin website.

Vladimir Putin’s statement was the center of attention at a closed meeting of the UN Security Council for a political settlement of the crisis in Syria. The presiding judge in the UN Security Council diplomat, Angolan Ismael Gaspar Martins decision to start withdrawal grouping called a positive step.

“Security Council members, who were able to respond to it, because, of course, is an important issue to most capitals guidance required to formulate their attitude to this property. Those members of the Security Council, who commented, they rightly pointed out that this shows the deep Russia’s commitment to the political process, “- said Russia’s permanent representative to the UN Vitaly Churkin.

The political process, of course, difficult. However, first of all it seems that the representatives of the Syrian government and the opposition will never sit down at the negotiating table. But thanks to the efforts of the international community, and primarily Russia dialogue began. And already, it seems, we began to realize that only by ending the civil war can be won, and the terrorists.
