MOSCOW, Nov. 15 (Xinhua) -- Russia has completed the withdrawal of its troops from Georgia, the commander-in-chief of Russia's Ground Forces Alexei Maslov said on Thursday.

　　"There are no Russian troops in Georgia any more," Maslov was quoted by the Itar-Tass news agency as saying.

　　Only Russian peacekeepers deployed in the breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia are staying there under their respective mandates, he added.

　　The last train carrying Russian personnel and equipment left the base in Georgia's Black Sea port city of Batumi to travel overnight Thursday to a Russian military base in Armenia, Maslov said.

　　The pullout, which was scheduled for completion in late 2008, has been completed ahead of schedule.

　　Russia inherited four military bases in Georgia from the former Soviet Union following its breakup in the 1990s and had withdrawn from three of them by June this year.
