Kremlin: The issue of using CSTO forces in Ukraine has not been  raised on the platform of the Organization

ArmInfo.The issue of using the forces of the countries of the Collective Security Treaty  Organization (CSTO) in Russia's "special military operation" in  Ukraine has not been raised on the platform of the Organization. This  was stated to journalists on Wednesday by press secretary of the  President of Russia Dmitry Peskov, answering the question of whether  the troops of other countries could be involved in this "special  operation" through the CSTO.

"As far as I know, such issues have not been raised at the CSTO  platform," the Kremlin spokesman said.

On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a "special  military operation" in response to the appeal of the leaders of the  Donbass republics for help. He stressed that Moscow's plans do not  include the occupation of Ukrainian territories, the goal is to  demilitarize and denazify the country.
