Syria's main opposition hailed a decision announced late today to withdraw Russian forces from the war-ravaged country, but said it would wait and see what impact the order would have on the ground.
"We must verify the nature of this decision and its meaning," Salem al-Meslet, spokesman for the opposition High Negotiations Committee told reporters in Geneva.
"If there is a decision to withdraw the (Russian) forces, it is a positive decision, and we will see it on the ground (But) does this decision mean removing forces or juste reducing the number of aircraft in Syria, (that) we will have to check," he said.
