MINSK, February 3. /tass/. The peacekeeping operation conducted by the CSTO states in Kazakhstan was very timely and effective, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said at a meeting with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko in Minsk on Thursday.
"You quite correctly noted that January forced us to start all these exercises, inspections and joint work much earlier, and it was Kazakhstan. And, of course, thanks to the operational work of our presidents - and you, and [Russian President] Vladimir Vladimirovich [Putin], and your colleagues in the CSTO, of course, this operation was carried out in the shortest, shortest possible time. And, as life already shows today, it is very timely," Shoigu said.
