Russia’s experience in Syria will be put to full-scale use while preparing military servicemen, according to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“Over the past few days, 13 aircraft, 14 helicopters and 1140 personnel have been withdrawn. All of them are people who have experience and have passed the test by fighting. Both you and your colleagues will make full use of this experience for the combat training of personnel here on Russian territory, to work out the most difficult non-standard tasks,” Putin said at an assembly of graduates of military universities in the Kremlin, emphasizing that the process is ongoing.

The Russian president has promised to increase monetary allowances for servicemen, as well as to solve some social problems.

“The state will develop a system of social guarantees for servicemen, officers and their families,” he said, adding that indexation of monetary allowances has been made since January 1, 2018.
