Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday proposed the launch of a program to equip forces of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) with modern Russian weapons.

“We propose launching a large-scale program to equip collective forces with modern Russian weapons and equipment that have proven their effectiveness in actual combat,” Putin said in an address to a CSTO leaders’ summit in the Kyrgyz capital Bishkek, adding that they plan to organize a series of joint exercises in this spirit.
