According to the official website of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, “President Vladimir Putin submitted to the State Duma for ratification an agreement between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Tajikistan on the creation of a Unified Regional Air Defense System of the Russian Federation and Tajikistan. The document has been placed in the Legislative Activity Support System.”

The agreement was signed in Dushanbe on April 27, 2021, by the Minister of Defense of Russia Sergey Shoigu and the Minister of Defense of Tajikistan Sherali Mirzo.
