MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Russia has already created joint air defense systems with Belarus and Kazakhstan, the CSTO head noted.

"It is being considered at the level of legislative bodies [of both countries]," Bordyuzha said at a press conference in the Armenian capital of Yerevan.

The CSTO is an intergovernmental military alliance of former Soviet states, which comprises Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and Tajikistan. Its key objective is to fight against "international terrorism and other nontraditional threats to security," according to its website.
