Kiev. Archival photo MOSCOW, 13 Jan. Former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavel Klimkin said on Facebook that he does not rule out the introduction of a joint peacekeeping contingent of Russia and the EU as a result of negotiations between Moscow and the West on security guarantees. In his opinion, during diplomatic consultations, some «attempts to destabilize» Ukraine from within are possible, which would significantly change the situation. «The more chaos we have, & lt; … & gt; the better (Moscow. — Ed.) to tell the Europeans that only Russia is capable of putting things in order. Like Kazakhstan: with the help of the CSTO. Or Russia will even offer a joint (peacekeeping. — Ed.) mission with the European Union. I do not exclude even such cynicism, «Klimkin said. Mass protests in Kazakhstan began in the first days of 2022 in the west of the country, and later spread to other regions, including the largest city in the republic of Alma-Ata. There began looting and clashes with the security forces, the militants attacked state institutions, took away weapons, there were victims and injured on both sides. In response, the authorities declared a state of emergency throughout the country and launched a counter-terrorism operation. The CSTO decided to send collective peacekeeping forces to Kazakhstan to protect strategically important facilities after the request of the country's president, Kasym-Zhomart Tokayev. The Kazakh leader described the situation in Kazakhstan as undermining the integrity of the state and said that he asked the CSTO for help «in overcoming the terrorist threat.» Later, Tokayev called the peacekeeping mission «very successful» and expressed gratitude to the command of the contingent. The organized withdrawal of the CSTO military countries will begin on January 13 and will be completed within ten days. 
«Without Russia, this is doomed to failure.» How the negotiations with NATO ended On Wednesday, a meeting of the Russia-NATO Council was held in Brussels, and on Monday in Geneva, bilateral negotiations were held between the delegations of Russia and the United States. Consultations in Vienna at the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe are also to follow on Thursday. At the end of 2021, Russia published draft agreements with the United States and agreements with NATO on security guarantees. The prepared document includes provisions on the mutual non-deployment of intermediate and shorter-range missiles in each other's reach, on the rejection of further NATO expansion at the expense of the former Soviet republics and on the reduction of the number of military exercises. Even before the talks began, Washington called certain points unacceptable. Russia stressed that the documents are not ultimatum, but it will not make unilateral concessions, especially under pressure.
