The Russian Ministry of Defense has developed amendments that propose to allow the use of military personnel of all categories for peacekeeping missions with the condition of special training. The document was published on the portal of draft regulatory legal acts.
Changes are proposed in Article 8 of the law “On the procedure for the provision by the Russian Federation of military and civilian personnel for participation in activities to maintain or restore international peace and security.” The current version states that military personnel for peacekeeping missions are recruited on a voluntary basis by military personnel who serve under a contract. To participate in the mission, they must undergo preliminary special training.
The amendments are proposed “in order to improve the recruitment of military personnel sent to participate” in peacekeeping activities “, the explanatory note to the bill says. If approved, the amendments to the law will come into force on August 15, 2022, the bill states.
According to Art. 7 of the current law, the decision to send a Russian contingent to carry out peacekeeping activities is made by the president on the basis of a resolution of the Federation Council on the possibility of using the Armed Forces abroad.
The Russian military contingent has repeatedly participated in peacekeeping missions, including under the auspices of the UN in the former Yugoslavia, during military conflicts in Africa and the Middle East.
The Russian peacekeeping mission operates in the unrecognized Transnistria, which declared independence from Moldova in 1990, and in Nagorno-Karabakh due to the ongoing conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan. In January, Russia participated in sending a Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) peacekeeping force to Kazakhstan, as requested by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev to “stabilize the situation”; due to unrest in the country.
