So USSR had to withdraw its support to JVP and help Sri Lanka government  with weapons to save its face  and established good relationship with Sirimao bandaranayake during the process. as per old leaders of insurrection even in last days of 71  JVP members expected a weapon shipment from USSR.in 80s  KGB was weak and almost all their intelligence assets were handed over or taken by the RAW.</blockquote>
