The Kremlin is trying to use the resources of Central Asian countries in the war against Ukraine. Russia is most interested in the opportunity to replenish stocks of Soviet ammunition and spare parts for military equipment.
This was reported by the press service of Ukrainian intelligence.
“Recently, the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation of the Russian Federation turned to to the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Tajikistan with a request to transfer 220-mm rockets to the Uragan MLRS. The Russians are also interested in ammunition for the 203-mm Pion self-propelled guns and UT BMP-1 and BMP-2 engines, which are stored in large quantities in the military Warehouses of Tajikistan,” the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense said.
Retired military and employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tajikistan are receiving offers to sign a contract with the Russian Armed Forces and take part in the war against Ukraine. The Russian Federation is also recruiting military personnel in the Kyrgyz Republic.
“In the chat of graduates of the Bishkek Higher Military School, messages are received with proposals to sign contracts with the Russian Federation or one of the private military companies. Similar recruitment messages are being circulated throughout the republic in professional chats of former military and Interior Ministry officials,” the message says.
Recall that American intelligence representatives do not exclude that after a successful counter-offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Russian troops will be forced to give up other captured territory.
