The Secretary General of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), Sergey Lebedev, has accused foreign actors of actively working to undermine stability within the organization. Lebedev stated these external forces are attempting to create divisions between CIS member countries. These efforts reportedly include exacerbating existing conflicts and instigating new ones. He did not specify which countries or actors are involved in these alleged destabilization attempts. The CIS, formed from former Soviet republics, aims to foster cooperation in areas like trade, security, and culture. Lebedev’s statement signals growing concern over external interference in the region and potential threats to the bloc’s unity. The warning comes amid heightened geopolitical tensions in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
