Other systemic steps will be possible on the basis of the first brigades identified, and the modernization of the army system has no alternatives
He also said that there was a report by Defense Minister Rustem Umerov on communication with partners.
I also held a meeting with our diplomats - the team of the Office and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We are planning international work for February - meetings and negotiations. Key tasks: unity of partners is the basis of everything, as well as coordination on the European direction. Everyone on the continent should not forget that if global issues are resolved without Europe, this will leave Europe with decisions that most Europeans may not like. This applies, in particular, to the issues of war and peace - the war that Russia started and the peace that we must force Russia to make together. We must do more together for defense and economic growth
