Crisis in CSTO and Putin's Pressure.

The Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), Russia's equivalent of NATO, is facing new tensions and snubs from some of its member states following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Some member states have declined to offer support or have turned to the West, while others have criticized the effectiveness of the CSTO. Experts say the organization is showing cracks and may not be able to compete with NATO. The lack of CSTO response to conflicts has led some member states to rethink their membership.
