A number of NATO member states intend to deploy nuclear stockpiles and their delivery systems on the western borders of the CSTO's Eastern European Collective Security Area. This will lead to a worsening of the regional situation, said CSTO Secretary General Taaltbek Mesdikov.
"The implementation of such plans will have far-reaching consequences for the security of Central and Eastern Europe."
He added that the West is actively using information and communication technologies and proxy warfare methods in geopolitical rivalry.
"The legal vacuum in this area, the absence of any international legal instrument regulating the use of such measures, are related to the danger of the expansion of conflict situations."
