Another Russian military train is preparing to leave Georgia’s Tsalka
railway station on Thursday with a load of military equipment and
weapons from Georgia’s 62nd military base, which was relocated from
Akhalkalaki, according to the commander of the group of Russian
forces in the Caucasus (GRVZ), Colonel Vladimir Kuparadze.

"It will be already the seventeenth military column with equipment
from the 62nd base leaving for Russia," Kuparadze said.

According to the GRVZ commander, the summer plan for the withdrawal
of Russian military forces is practically complete.

"Everything that was planned to be sent this year from Batumi, where
the 12th military base is deployed, to the Armenian city of Gyumri to
join the 102nd military base, has been sent. Until the end of the
year, there remain six more arms convoys to send to Russia and other
equipment from the Akhalkalaki base," Kuparadze said.
