"Clear signal throughout the world": the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are ready to strengthen the combat capability
Shoiga stated that Russian troops are ready to help Algeria to increase the combat capabilities of the Armed Forces. About it reports Tars. "We gave a clear signal to the world that Russia and Algeria are aimed at pursuing an independent foreign policy and upholding their national interests, despite the unprecedented pressure of the event," Saiga said.
According to him, Russia has always supported the right of each country to make sovereign decisions from the entire spectrum of international and domestic issues, especially related to national security. Western media consider this development to be another sign that the Russian Federation seeks to strengthen its influence on the African continent. In recent years, Russia has been supported by Merzes with Wagner PECs in conflicts in Libya, Mozambik, Mali, King and Sudan.
Such a statement was heard a few days after the Kremlin spent a summit with representatives of African countries in St. Petersburg, on which Russian President Vladimir Putin promised to send thousands of tons of Russian grain in six countries of Africa for free. Algeria also participated in the summit, but they were not promised free grain. President Algeria Abdelmadjid Tebbun attended Moscow on a state visit in June, during which he signed a strategic partnership declaration.
