"We have permanent squabbles even with two our military allies Armenia
and Belarus," said Ruslan Pukhov, Director at the Moscow-based Center
of Strategic Analysis and Technologies, at a roundtable in Moscow.
"Terrorist wars may broke out on our southern borders as soon as the
United States leave Afghanistan already in 2014. The next war the
Russian army may be involved in will be in Central Asia and very soon.
In such situation Russia is proudly and lonely drifting on "the waves
of the global politics." And even two our military allies Armenia and
Belarus permanently squabble with us and this squabble is sometimes
rather hard-hitting," Pukhov said.
He is sure that Russia's major challenges are not in the military
field. The biggest challenges of Russia are corruption, outdated
infrastructure, degrading health care system and high and secondary
schools. Consequently, Puhkov said, resources must be directed to
the above fields first.
