Belarus and Kazakhstan will be engaged in the production of weapons for the organization of the Collective Security Treaty (CSTO), said Vice Prime Minister Yuri Borisov on the air TV channel “Russia 1”. His words lead RIA Novosti.
He explained that against the background of the situation, the Alliance intends to increase the ability to ensure the safety of borders against the background of the exacerbation of the situation in Afghanistan. To do this, the defense and industrial complex of Belarus and Kazakhstan will be used.
In May 2021, US President Joe Biden announced the beginning of the complete release of American troops from Afghanistan. Against the background of this, the Taliban movement began an active offensive and on August 15, he took control of almost the entire territory of the country and the capital of Kabul. August 31, the United States completed the evacuation of its contingent from the Afghan territory. The President of the country, Ashraf Ghani, has resolved powers and ran to the UAE.
