From personal experience, when requesting de-icing in a similar part of the world, the response from the ground services often being-
"Russian aircraft not de-ice"
They would happily run a hand over the contamination, brush the loose stuff off, and try to suggest that we are being stupid asking for it.
Often, there were hints and suggestions that it would take a long time to find deicing kit, which would make us late. Only dogged insistence would result in their reluctant compliance.
Pointing at the dent in the ground where someone previously didn't de-ice had no appreciable effect on their thinking.
