Russia Changing Its Military Doctrine- by Ria Novosti

Moscow - "The Academy of Military Sciences will hold a conference in the Defense Ministry in Moscow on January 20. Its president, Army General Makhmut Gareyev, will deliver a report on Russia's new military doctrine. Military leaders and academics will discuss the changes and amendments to this key document, which will be presented to the military community. General Gareyev discusses the new doctrine in an interview with Viktor Litovkin.

Question: Why is Russia going to adopt a new military doctrine? What new features will it have? Why does it concern the Academy of Military Sciences, a public organization? Answer: The creation of a new military doctrine has been prompted by considerable changes in the geopolitical and military-political situation, as well as in the nature of the threats to security that have emerged since the endorsement of the current doctrine in 2000. We have now specified the tasks facing the military and other defense forces. The government system, the social and economic standards, and the demographic situation have also changed."
