2022-10-11 07:02:06 Why did Kyrgyzstan cancel the CSTO exercises? Deputy Head of the Cabinet of Ministers of the republic Edil Baisalov explained to @rian_ru that the reason is the recent conflict with Tajikistan.

"We have absolutely indestructible membership in the CSTO, we have no problems with this organization, with the mandate, with the mission, with the charter — there are no problems. But, of course, in the light of recent events, the blood has not cooled down."

"The situation has developed in such a way that the public opinion of Kyrgyzstan will not welcome the same elements of the armed units of our Tajik neighbors to be present at these exercises."

And without Tajikistan, it doesn't work out that, "here, you don't come, but Kazakhs, Russians and Belarusians — you will come." This does not happen, so we had to cancel the participation, and there is an absolute understanding in all the capitals of the CSTO. However, we are concerned that this is being misinterpreted, and speculation is completely irresponsible about this."

"The role of Russia in Central Asia, in Kyrgyz-Tajik relations as a strategic partner of both states is very important" Open / Comment

2022-10-10 22:37:06 Borrell called on EU envoys to be faster than the media and bolder to break taboos.

The head of European diplomacy demands that ambassadors quickly and in real time report on what is happening in the countries of their competence.

"I want to get information from you, not from the press. You have to be able to respond 24 hours a day," he said.

According to him, envoys need to move faster and take risks, and the EU diplomatic service should "be ready to show courage."

And gave an example: "We are breaking the taboo on the war in Ukraine by using the European Peace Fund to buy weapons, which was initially considered impossible."

"We've never done this before — it's not a recipe. You may have to start doing something that you have never done in the past," he noted.

Buying weapons at the expense of the Peace Fund is diplomacy that Europe has earned.

2022-10-10 21:51:08 The EU has prepared a draft resolution of the UN General Assembly on Russia.

The document calls for political dialogue and negotiations.

At the same time, all references to Crimea have been removed from the latest version dated October 7.

By the way, at the last UN General Assembly, 92 leaders of states either did not talk about the conflict in Ukraine at all, or spoke, but did not stigmatize Russia.

The vote on the new draft resolution will be held on Wednesday. Russia insists that it be secret, otherwise the countries will again be subjected to pressure from the West.
