Putin mentioned that Russia initially supported the presence of the US military in Afghanistan and voted for relevant UN Security Council resolutions.
The US military presence in Afghanistan does not conflict with Russian national interests, and the US military presence in Afghanistan is conducive to the stability of Afghanistan.
Putin said that despite conflicts with the United States in many areas, Russia still cooperates with the United States, especially in intelligence.
Russia and the United States have cooperated in the Syrian conflict, and the military leadership of the two sides have established a good working relationship.
Putin said that the US has provided intelligence to Russia more than once, and the intelligence obtained from the US has helped Russia prevent more than one terrorist attack; Russia has also responded to the US in its own way.
We have reached an agreement with the US, and if Russia obtains such information, it will also share it with the US.
Putin said that at the request of the US, Russia found American citizens arrested by Syria for espionage in Syria.
We persuaded the Syrian side to release him.
After that, the Russian side sent it to Moscow and handed it over to the US side.
This is a bilateral cooperation.
This kind of cooperation can be better, but overall we are satisfied with the cooperation between the two sides.
When talking about the claim by the US presidential candidate Biden that "Russia paid for the murder of US soldiers in Afghanistan," Putin said that this claim sounds strange and unfounded.
