Defense Ministry denies rumors about dispatch of Uzbek troops to Russia

A video has been circulated on social networks, in which servicemen of the country in special equipment were allegedly preparing to leave for Russia to help. 

According to the Ministry of Defense, this information is not true.

“The video shows equipment that participated in a festival held in March this year in the city of Chirchik,” the report says.

The ministry also reminded that Uzbekistan’s foreign policy doctrine is based on the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other states and the peaceful settlement of possible disputes.
