White House: Obama and Putin Talk 'Next Steps' in Syria

In a surprise announcement Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the withdrawal of most Russian troops from Syria beginning immediately, less than six months after Moscow's planes began bombarding forces fighting the Syrian government. The move prompted a call between US President Barack Obama and President Putin, who discussed next steps to implementing a ceasefire in the war-torn country.

Update: The president of the U.N. Security Council reports all 15 members view Russia's announcement that it is withdrawing most of its troops from Syria as "positive."
