“No one reported or told me, Vice President Mike Pence or Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, about the so-called Russian attacks on our troops in Afghanistan,” The New York Times told an anonymous source. They deny all this, and there were not many attacks on us, ”Trump wrote on Twitter.
According to him, "no one behaved more harshly with Russia than the Trump administration."
“Probably just another fake order of the Times, as well as their failed falsification of Russia. Who is their "source?" - added the American president.
He added that it’s “fun to watch corrupt Joe Biden” read statements about Russia, “which were obviously written by his assistants.”
Earlier, The New York Times, citing sources, published an article claiming that Russian military intelligence allegedly offered rewards to Taliban-related militants for attacks on American soldiers in Afghanistan.
As stated in the Russian embassy, Russian diplomats in Washington and London after this publication began to receive threats.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said that the publication is a "simple stuffing," which clearly illustrates the "low intellectual ability of propagandists from American intelligence."
In addition, a Taliban spokesman said the movement “strongly rejects” the newspaper’s allegation.
* “Taliban” - the organization was recognized as terrorist by the decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of February 14, 2003.
