Russian peacekeepers act as security guarantors in Nagorno-Karabakh, risking their lives to restore normal life in the region, Russian President Vladimir Putin told an expanded meeting of the Defense Ministry Board on Monday, Kremlin reported.

“On November 10, Russian peacekeepers embarked on a very difficult mission in Nagorno-Karabakh. Their presence is now a guarantee of the parties’ compliance with the agreements on the cessation of hostilities. They are also doing a lot to improve the humanitarian situation and help refugees, to de-mine the area and rebuild social infrastructure, as well as to preserve the local cultural, historical and religious landmarks,” Putin said. 

“Unfortunately, they risk themselves not without losses; they risk their lives so that a peaceful life would return to this land,” he added.
