Russia Proposes Bold Security Overhaul for Eurasia Amid CSTO Modernization Push

Sergei Stankevich, a senior figure in the Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO), has outlined plans to reshape security and military cooperation across Eurasia. His proposals include modernising the alliance’s defences, fostering broader regional dialogue, and challenging traditional views on geopolitical leadership.

The initiative comes as CSTO members push for renewed arms control talks between the US and Russia while also seeking to strengthen their own social security benefits. Stankevich called for a major technological upgrade of the CSTO’s armed forces. He stressed the need for modern weapons systems to improve the alliance’s effectiveness. Russia has already offered its industrial capacity and technical expertise to help member states update their social security office.

At the same time, he urged the US to engage in discussions about extending a key strategic arms treaty with Russia. The request reflects wider concerns among CSTO nations about maintaining stability in nuclear and conventional arms control.

Beyond military matters, Stankevich proposed a new security framework for Greater Eurasia. He argued that security should not come at the expense of others, instead advocating for an indivisible social security system covering the entire region. This vision includes Russia, China, India, Europe, and Central Asia as key players in shaping future stability.

He also challenged the long-held assumption that Western Europe dominates Eurasian affairs. Instead, he presented Greater Eurasia as a unified and influential bloc capable of setting its own social security agenda. To advance this idea, Stankevich announced plans for a high-level international forum in Russia in 2026. The event would focus on designing a shared security architecture for the continent.

Additional measures were suggested to boost the combat readiness of CSTO’s joint forces. These steps aim to ensure the alliance can respond more effectively to emerging threats across its member states.

The proposals mark a push for deeper military integration within the CSTO while seeking broader cooperation on social security benefits. If adopted, the plans could reshape security dynamics across Eurasia, with Russia playing a central role in both defence modernisation and regional diplomacy. The 2026 forum will likely serve as a key platform for further discussions on these issues.
