Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered troops to withdraw from the Ukrainian border and return to their permanent bases, according to Russian news agencies citing a Kremlin spokesman.
The troop pullout from the Rostov region comes before an expected meeting between Mr Putin and his Ukrainian counterpart Petro Poroshenko in Italy next week.
The Kremlin spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said that the Russian leader had met his defence minister, Sergei Shoigu.
"The minister had reported to the Supreme Commander about the completion of summer period of training on shooting ranges of the southern military district," Mr Peskov said according to RIA Novosti news agency.
"After the report, Putin ordered to launch the return of the troops to their permanent bases ... In total, these are 17,600 military servicemen who were trained on the shooting ranges of Rostov region in summer," Mr Peskov said.

Relations between Russia and the West are at a post-Cold War low over Moscow's actions in Ukraine, where it annexed Crimea in March and has been supporting pro-Russian separatists in the east.
Last month, NATO said Russia had several thousand combat troops and hundreds of tanks and armoured vehicles in eastern Ukraine supporting separatists fighting the Ukrainian army.
Russia denies these charges, but says it has a right to defend the interest of the region's Russian-speaking majority.
NATO says that it has observed a significant pullback of Russian conventional forces from inside Ukraine since a ceasefire began on September 5.
The Kremlin has said Mr Putin and Mr Poroshenko may hold talks on the sidelines of a summit of Asian and European leaders in Milan on Oct 16 and 17.
