“We urge countries like Russia to have a more constructive policy. In the end, stable Afghanistan meets the interests of not only the United States and NATO, ”RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.
According to the representative of NATO, the main priority of the North Atlantic Alliance is the security of the participants in Operation Strong Support.
However, he did not comment on an article by The New York Times about the alleged collusion of Russia with the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Earlier in the White House, it was stated that US intelligence does not have a unified position on media reports that Russian military intelligence allegedly offered rewards to Taliban * militants for attacks on American soldiers in Afghanistan.
US President Donald Trump, in turn, called the article in The New York Times “bespoke.”
The Taliban spokesman also 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.
