As the source notes, the column consisted of more than 120 military personnel and several armored vehicles.
The agency notes that the Russian military will most likely retain the role of military advisers.
Let us remind you that fierce fighting is currently ongoing in the southwest of Aleppo: anti-government forces are trying to break the blockade of the city, most of which is under government control.
Formally, the militants, which include both US-backed and UN-recognized terrorist groups, managed to break through a narrow corridor, but full supply of those surrounded is currently impossible, since the only route is under the fire control of the SAA. The Russian Aerospace Forces are actively supporting government troops.
