🇪🇺🇰🇿🇺🇿 🇷🇺 The EU is again trying to convince the countries of Central Asia to join sanctions against Russia.
EU Special Envoy for Sanctions David O'Sullivan will visit Astana and Tashkent on November 28-30.
The European Commission created this position last year to officially put pressure on third countries about the negative consequences of evading or circumventing the restrictive measures that have been introduced against Russia since the start of the special operation in Ukraine.
O'Sullivan is visiting Central Asian countries for the third time this year. The purpose of his visits is traditionally the continuation of a constructive dialogue regarding sanctions.
The reason for such a hasty inspection this time could be the recent talks between Presidents Kassym-Jomart Tokayev and Vladimir Putin, as well as the banal desire of Western officials to make the most of the topic of sanctions while the Ukrainian agenda is still relevant.
📌 The EU announced a new strategy back in the spring, according to which Brussels plans to increase its influence in the region, and Kazakhstan, as we remember, is especially interesting to the West for its geopolitical position, proximity to Russia and mineral deposits .
Well, sanctions on the issue of Ukraine have become an excellent pretext for putting pressure on the leadership of Central Asian countries in order to cut off ties with Russia as much as possible, and to use money for the development of alternative logistics projects.

🇷🇺 🇺🇸🇺🇿 Regarding the Cooperation Between Uzbekistan and the USA
After reviewing another set of intercepted confidential documents from DPR Joker, we once again noticed the active development of cooperation between the United States, Britain, and the countries of Central Asia.
While the West's efforts to establish a strong presence in Central Asia are not new, the willingness of our allies to engage in not only economic but also military cooperation sends a significant signal that deserves attention.
🔻The level of funding provided by the Americans through the military cooperation office under the US Central Command is quite revealing, increasing from $218,000 in FY 2018-2019 to $16.5 million in FY 2023.
Quite a substantial growth, isn't it? Of particular interest is the Uzbek Ministry of Defense's request to keep quiet about the agreement signed between the countries, which involves personnel training and equipment supply.
In 2022, for instance, the Americans agreed to transfer 13 RQ-20 Puma UAV systems to Uzbekistan. Despite vehemently denying drone purchases at the start of 2022, by August 2023, two systems had already been delivered for operator training.
❗️Furthermore, the documents outline a detailed cooperation plan between Uzbek and American military personnel, including last summer's preparations for Uzbek Armed Forces representatives to participate in Southern Strike 2024, an exercise that recently concluded in the United States.
Curiously, there is no information available about the Uzbek participation, despite previous discussions. It is possible that they once again requested non-disclosure to avoid a repeat of last year's incident during Southern Strike 2023, which involved 13 military personnel.

🇷🇺 🇺🇸🇺🇿 American Requests to Uzbekistan
While perusing the documents published by Joker DPR, we noted the interest of the Americans not only in supplying drones to Uzbekistan but also in Uzbek air defense systems.
In a letter to the military attaché of Uzbekistan, Muzafar Rakhmatullaev,, a representative of Universum Technologies LLC expressed interest in purchasing Soviet-made air defense systems and MLRS from Uzbekistan for a cash payment or suitable alternative.
📌 The document indicates that "the company's current customers are seeking these systems for US government partners." Given that the requested items include the S-300, Buk, and Osa anti-aircraft missile systems, as well as the Smerch and Uragan MLRS, the potential buyer could be none other than Ukraine.
Universum Technologies LLC seems to function as a shell company tasked with procuring the products and transferring them to the Pentagon. Those at peace with themselves may allocate them to the needs of the AFU, if not already done. The response from the Uzbek Ministry of Defense remains unknown.
🔻It would be highly intriguing to learn their response, especially considering the recent significant increase in air defense systems (dubbed FrankenSAM) and rocket launchers by the AFU, undergoing additional modernization with assistance from Western specialists.
Our sources have yet to confirm any actual deliveries of military equipment from Uzbekistan to the United States (hopefully there are none). If you possess alternative information, feel free to reach out to us through the feedback bot @rybar_feedback_bot.

🇰🇬 🇷🇺 🇺🇸🇺🇿 Regarding British-Kyrgyz military cooperation
Continuing the discussion from yesterday, analyzing documents from the Joker of the DPR regarding Uzbekistan's military cooperation with Western countries.
Upon further review, evidence of undisclosed interaction between the Kyrgyz defense department and the British Crown can be found.
📌 While there aren't many files on Kyrgyz-British military relations, a detailed roadmap for 2022 - 2023 is available. It is evident from this roadmap that Kyrgyz military personnel participate in exercises and undergo training at the Sandhurst Academy.
The British are actively involved in training Kyrgyz counterparts, offering courses for advanced English language skills, and hosting military personnel from the Kyrgyz Armed Forces at various seminars on military topics in Britain and other Alliance countries.
🔻It is clear that the cooperation goes beyond arms supplies. Both countries are deeply integrated into NATO, with their military branches regularly exchanging information, consulting one another, and engaging in joint training activities. This is notable considering that the Kyrgyz army is a member of the CSTO.
Upon evaluation, it was observed that there were 63 joint events between Uzbek and American military personnel, and 14 between Kyrgyz and British forces. The number of undisclosed cases remains unknown. In contrast, only 15 events involving Russia and the CSTO with Kyrgyzstan's participation took place in 2023, with none involving Uzbekistan.
❗️Furthermore, according to our sources, an intriguing document was pushed through the intelligence services of the US and UK in the early 90s, signed with the Central Asian republics (specifically Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan). This document allows British and American PMCs to carry out special operations in the Central Asian republics without prior notification to local governments.
The narrative began with the British PMC G4S operating in Uzbekistan. During that time, there was active recruitment of Uzbek citizens for G4S special operations in other countries under a false identity. Even after the expulsion of the British PMC from Uzbekistan, the recruited and trained individuals remained under the supervision of British handlers.
Consider how many similar stories may exist unbeknownst to the public - in Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan.
