Putin's Allies Staying Away To Avoid Direct Involvement Amid Ukraine's Advances In Kursk? #CV

Ukrainian forces have reportedly occupied dozens of villages and hamlets on more than 1,000 square kilometres and captured Russian servicemen amid its ongoing incursion of Russia’s Kursk region.

The stony silence from Russia’s traditional partners, particularly those in Central Asia and Transcaucasus, on the biggest incursion into Russia by a foreign power since World War Two, hasn’t gone unnoticed.

Except for Belarus, the Central Asian allies of Russia including Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan have neither uttered a word on the invasion of the Russian region of Kursk, at least in public nor have they offered any military aid to Russia. These nations are bound to respond to such an act by a foreign power on a member state’s territory by virtue of being a part of the Collective Security Treaty (CST), a military accord they signed with Russia and Minsk.

Has the surprise invasion of Russia by Ukraine forced Putin’s allies to change their allegiance? Has Kursk incursion cost Putin his friends?

[skyhigh]

slava Ukraina get out of Ukraine putin and end the war stop the land grab

[johnkoay]

If his allies condemn Ukraine f9r the incursion, they must also fairly condemn Russia for starting it.

[JeffSoreba-hxmh]

The agressor is now seeking sympathy to his allies and in the people of russia..
Pretending to be a victim that who is the real war starter..made me vomit..putin is a coward.

[philcollins]

They weren't attacked they were the Aggressive party not UKRAINE!

[Danny-bdeh]

Putin’s allies would not dare to confront well trained Ukrainian arm forces and NATO troops with more advanced lethal weapons on the battlefields.

Kong wala ang tulong ng USA at NATO talo na ang Ukraine. The USA and EUROPE has the best and modern war machines. Isa ang mga believers dito naninikluhod at humihingi ng guidance sa taga paglikha.

:))) referendum, 99%, Kursk to Ukraine:))).... to funny
God bless Ukraine soldiers and hopefully will not do anything stupid to civilians!
And Ukraine will stay in russia and get more land and we may have a solution for a peace talk. I hope Ukraine will stay in russia so negotiation will be at least fair. Depends on who will win in the US elections. God bless Ukraine!.... from Romania

[gaboogablah]

That was funny when Russia was trying to join NATO.

[RaymondStukas]

Time to call Lukashenko out. If he has sent a third of his army to the Ukrainian border, the Baltic states should send troops to fortify the Belarus/Ukrainian border. Since Putin has moved troops and equipment from Kaliningrad to the Kursk region, Lithuania, Latvia and Poland face less Belarus and Russian troops at their borders. This will allow Ukraine to r e-assign troops the where they are needed most.
I suspect if this happens Lukashenko will first threaten to use nuclear weapons then soon call for peace talks. He is not going to risk a war. A war would be the end of his regime. There would be immediate demonstrations by the Belarus people and Russia will not be sending troops to maintain his regime.

[fg-pvht]

Well didn't see Russia running to help Armenia

[HilaiKore]

How do you call this provocation?You were the one who provoked Ukraine. They are only repaying you for what you did to them

[stanadams]

If Lukeshenko pushes his Army to fight against the Ukraine they will not do so !

[reynaldojuan]

Russia became the world's biggest joke

[diffrentperspective-zt]

CSTO is led by Russia, so let the leader lead😂😂😂😂😂

[warmachineuk]

You'd think Lukashenko would help by sending an expeditionary force to the Kursk oblast, but nope. It seems the Belarus military still want to stay out.
