MOSCOW, March 12 (AVN) - Officials of the Russian Defence Ministry are working in seven peacekeeping missions of the United Nations and the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), a spokesman for the main international military co-operation department of the Defence Ministry told the Military News Agency on Monday.
Currently Russia is engaged in peacekeeping co-operation with over 30 countries where it has military advisers and specialists. Among those countries are Russia's traditional partners like Algeria, Syria, Cuba, India and some countries with which military co-operation once stopped for a while, such as Angola, Ethiopia, Libya, Peru, Nicaragua and Mali.
The need for Russian military specialists is caused by their high professionalism and by the fact that Russian military equipment and armament is widely used by armed forces of many nations around the world.
