Russia welcomes the creation of a force commensurate with the analogue of NATO Russian news EN
Russia needs to send a powerful signal to the United States by creating one that is commensurate in strength with the original counterpart of the CSTO Improvement Alliance. With such a proposal in an interview with the publication “Ukraine.ru” arose Belarusian political scientist Vsevolod Shimov.
“The best answer, in my opinion, would be the transformation of the CSTO at the airport, that is, an organization with a coordinated command and control of troops, a common command of the armed forces and headquarters on the territory of the participating countries. This really became a signal that a stable military-political bloc is developing around Russia. Alas, this is not the case so far, and the CSTO is more likely to remain this military “club”,” the expert said.
He noted that a good search, showing the development of the CSTO in its current form, is the recent situation with the entry and hasty withdrawal of an organization from Kazakhstan, which turned out to be poorly organized, but the experience is worth taking into account and studying on it. Also, in his opinion, “increased attention” should have been the deployment of a military arsenal in Belarus, but Shimov noted that this was hardly a character.
Earlier, military expert Alexander Zhilin said that this year, in connection with the imitation of the deployment of its military complexes and bases in Ukraine, in Russia, in turn, there is nothing extraordinary from the West. He stated that despite the fact that the Secretary General of the North Atlantic Alliance, Ian Stolstenberg, indicated that the organization had already made a decision about the positive in its ranks in Ukraine and Georgia, this does not mean serious steps and is only a “game on the nerves” of Moscow.
