A new defense pact of former Soviet States is emerging

The Hindu News Update Service

MOSCOW: The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) and the Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO), a Russia-led defence pact of former Soviet states, have signed a defence cooperation pact dubbed a “Russian-Chinese NATO.”
The SCO, which comprises Russia, China, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, and the CSTO, which groups Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Armenia and Belorussia, signed a memorandum of cooperation on Friday on the sidelines of a CSTO summit in Dushanbe, capital of Tajikistan. China is the only member of the SCO, which does not participate in the CSTO.

As I indicated in some prior posts I think Russia will form a new Union of States that will take part in the Ezekiel Gog invasion. This defense cooperation pact most likely is the start of it.
