Vladimir Putin stated that there are disagreements between the CIS member states. The head of the Kremlin continues to play chess with them, because now the media picture is very important to him.
This channel 24 said a political expert and head of the Vezha Center for Public Analytics Valery Shred. He stressed that the CIS and the CSTO are very important for Putin, because the loss of support will accelerate his fall.
What is Putin's main task
Klochok believes that Putin's main task now is to show everyone that he has supporters who tend to perceive his policy as a reality and normal for the world. He partially succeeds in this, since the heads of the countries of Central Asia, who are now mainly represented in the CIS, still meet with him to some extent and take pictures.
And in this way, he shows, first of all, both Central Asia and Russia, that there are, they say, allies who are ready to help him, – said the head of the Vezha Center for Public Analytics.
However, he noted, it is precisely from these countries, not so much military aid comes to Russia. There is another point – a number of CIS countries are members of the CSTO. And these two organizations are very important for Putin. After all, the loss of support will only accelerate its fall. And the head of the Kremlin now has a very important media picture.

Putin continues his game with the CIS countries
He noted that on the sidelines of this summit there are rumors that Pashinyan is again raising the issue of Armenia's withdrawal from the CSTO. And then other members will also think about what this alliance exists for and how they can benefit from it.
Therefore, I think that for Putin, this is such a very difficult chess game today, which he continues with these partners of his so far, because it’s still difficult to call these countries his partners specifically,” Klochok said.
According to him, Putin very often simply uses the CIS member countries exclusively for his own purposes. And events are now developing in such a way that, for example, Armenia can get out of there. The head of the Kremlin is very afraid of this, because it will be a very bad signal for him, but a positive one for other members of the CIS and the CSTO.What is known about the CIS summit: the main thing
