Russia will complete the withdrawal of the bulk of its forces from Syria before the end of the week, a top Russian general suggested in an interview published Thursday, according to AFP.
"I think this will be over very quickly. Within the time-frame determined by (the president) and the defence minister. Today or tomorrow... within two-three days we will complete the task," Viktor Bondarev, the commander of the Russian Air Force, told Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper.
