Russia is continuing to withdraw its air force from Syria, following Russian President Vladimir Putin’s announcement Monday that Russia would be ending the five-month bombing campaign. A Reuters analysis estimates that Russia has already withdrawn just under half the jets it had stationed at a base in eastern Syria. The U.S.-led coalition, meanwhile, has continued to launch airstrikes against ISIL inside Syria.
