Russia's military pullout from Syria is welcome and could help slow the flood of refugees causing Europe's worst migrant crisis in decades, European Commission head Jean-Claude Juncker said Thursday, according to AFP.
"I welcome the initiatives taken by the Russian leadership to withdraw from Syria," Juncker said ahead of a crunch EU leaders summit on the migration crisis.
"It could be easily that this would reduce the number of refugees (coming) to Europe but it is too early to say," he added.
