These units comprise contract servicemen who have undergone special training to carry out a peacekeeping mission. In particular, they have studied the norms of international humanitarian law during armed conflicts.

"The peacekeeping force is equipped with modern weapons, military and special equipment, including (…) armored personnel carriers," the Russian Defense Ministry added.
