Servicemen of the Combined Arms Army of the Central Military District (CMD) have arrived in the Republic of Belarus to take part in the command-and-staff exercise with the CSTO Peacekeeping Forces “Indestructible Brotherhood-2026” and the special exercise with the CSTO joint NBC protection and medical support formation “Barrier-2026”.
On October 7, 2026, the Fourth Counter-Terrorism Forum opened in Minsk (Republic of Belarus), bringing together the CIS Conference on Countering Terrorism and Extremism, the SCO Regional Anti-Terrorist Structure international scientific and practical conference, and joint counter-terrorism exercises.
October 7 marks the 24th anniversary of the signing of the Charter of the Collective Security Treaty Organization, which formalized the establishment of the CSTO as an international regional organization. The goals set out in the document, including strengthening peace and stability and collectively protecting the independence, territorial integrity and sovereignty of the member states, remain the foundation for developing mutually beneficial, truly allied cooperation. On this basis, the Russian Federation is chairing the CSTO in 2026 under the motto “Collective security in a multipolar world: a common goal, shared responsibility.”

Assignment: Survive
They deliberately risk their lives for the sake of people's right to information. Increasingly, working in areas of armed conflict, reporters are becoming the number one goal for militants. July 2018: In the Central African Republic, journalists died: Orhan Dzhemal, Alexander Rastorguev and Kirill Radchenko. April 2018: in the Daman region of the Afghan province of Kandahar, reporters from foreign and local publications were killed because of the explosion.
November 2015: in Syria, a car with the RT film crew came under fire from the militants, one anti-tank guided missile blew up next to it, the second hit the car. Roman Kosarev was among the wounded. I met him and other colleagues at a recent training seminar in the Moscow Region All-Russian Institute for Advanced Studies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. We were taught to survive. This course is for the first time for representatives of the media specializing in counterterrorism in the CSTO format.
