The option of involving CSTO forces in the fighting in Ukraine is not being considered, Peskov said.
Russia does not intend to involve the forces of the Collective Security Treaty Organization in combat operations in Ukraine. This was stated by the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov, written by Interfax on Monday, June 20.
“No. This option is not considered,” Peskov replied to the corresponding question.
“The importance of the CSTO is great, the CSTO has demonstrated its effectiveness, efficiency and relevance in the recent past. The development of the CSTO is one of our priorities in the field of foreign policy and security,” he added.
It should be noted that among the CSTO member countries, only Belarus supports Russia in the war with Ukraine.
It was previously reported that CSTO countries will conduct a series of military exercises in the autumn, and their number will increase in the future.
The Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) is a military-political international organization, which includes Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan. The CSTO Charter allows the use of the military and peacekeepers of member countries only in the territory of the member countries of the treaty at their request. Ukraine is not a member of the CSTO.
