Kyrgyzstan cancels Russian-led military drill on its landThe Central Asian nation of Kyrgyzstan on Sunday unilaterally cancelled joint military drills between the six nations comprising the Russia-led Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), less than a day before they were due to start on its territory.According to earlier reports, the exercises were set to involve army personnel from CSTO members Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, and focus on securing ceasefires.Last month, Armenia skipped a two-week drill held by the collective in Kazakhstan, after criticizing the bloc for failing to openly side with it after large-scale fighting erupted on its border with non-member Azerbaijan in September.Live Updates: Russia-Ukraine WarRussia unleashes biggest attacks in Ukraine in monthsPoll: Majority in US see relations with adversaries souringOhio Senate debate with Ryan, Vance descends into attacksDespite its apparent ambitions to provide a counterpart to NATO, the CSTO has at times struggled to define its exact purpose.The CSTO’s focus has instead been aimed more intensely on enhancing readiness for potential spillover from Afghanistan, which shares a long border with Tajikistan."
