| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Western countries are actively involving extremist and terrorist groups in their attempts to destabilize the situation in the CSTO and CIS space. This was stated by Ambassador at Large of the Russian Foreign Ministry for CSTO issues Viktor Vasiliev. He noted that Western countries are actively introducing methods of using gangs, including in Central Asia. Some of these gangs “received registration” in the south and southwest of Afghanistan. “Western countries are actively using extremist and terrorist groups to destabilize the situation both along the entire perimeter of the borders of the CSTO member countries, and in a broader context - both in the CIS and inside,” Vasiliev told RIA Novosti. He noted that the most tense situation has developed on the border between Afghanistan and Tajikistan. As Regnum reported, earlier the director of the Foreign Intelligence Service, Sergei Naryshkin, warned about the high risk of extremists and terrorists from the Middle East entering the CIS countries. He noted that the intelligence services of Britain and the United States are looking for mercenaries to participate in hostilities on the side of Kyiv and are focusing on training ethnic battalions from the CIS countries. The West considers some of them as a reserve for carrying out sabotage on the territory of Russia and other Commonwealth countries. |
