In the event, a crisis was averted and Jackson went on to establish a working relationship with the Russian general, Viktor Zavarzin, lubricated with a mutual exchange of whisky and vodka. The British general, in a moment of inspiration, promised the nervous Russian troops protection from the Kosovan Liberation Army, using his son, Mark, who was with 5 Brigade's Pathfinder Platoon, as a guarantor and sweetener. It was pure Jacko. "This force of British soldiers," he told Zavarzin magnanimously, "will be commanded by my own son." A bottle of whisky, compliments of the management, was built into the arrangement. Zavarzin was mollified and Jackson observed: "The Russians are a very sentimental people."
