As part of combat training with the staff of the Russian peacekeeping contingent in Nagorno-Karabakh [(Artsakh)], medical-readiness training was conducted with 30 sanitary instructors at the observation posts, the Russian Defense Ministry reported.

Combat training courses with the peacekeeping corps are held regularly and are aimed at continuously raising the level of professional readiness of servicemen, improving their respective skills, as well as maintaining the established requirements for the combat-readiness of the units.

To note, on November 9, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, and Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a joint statement on a complete cessation of hostilities—which Azerbaijan had launched on September 27—in and around Artsakh. Accordingly, Russian peacekeepers are deployed in the region to monitor the implementation of the ceasefire and the cessation of hostilities.
