“The negotiations are completely finished, everything has already been decided, both the time-frame and the amount,” President Vladimir Putin's adviser for military and technical cooperation, Vladimir Kozhin, told state news agency RIA Novosti on Thursday evening.

“I hope we will sign the agreement on the termination of the contract as soon as possible,” he added.
