Russia is pulling out of Syria, effective immediately: http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/15/world/russia-syria-withdrawal/index.html
I saw a bit on CNN last night that showed some graphic footage of a fruit and vegetable market being thrown into disarray. Beyond that, I really don't know.
In a phone call between Putin and Assad on Monday, "the two leaders noted that the operations conducted by Russia's Aerospace Forces have brought about a real turnabout in the fight against the terrorists in Syria, throwing their infrastructure into disarray and causing them substantial damage," the Kremlin said...
As for the Syrian President, Assad "noted the professionalism, courage and heroism of the Russian service personnel who took part in the military operations, and expressed his profound gratitude toRussia for providing such substantial help in fighting terrorism and providing humanitarian assistance to the civilian population," the Kremlin said.
