Foreign Ministry assessed the impact of the change of administration in the United States on the situation in Afghanistan

“The change in the US administration is likely to have an impact on the process of peaceful settlement of the situation in the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.

We do not exclude that Joseph Biden may make adjustments to the decision of the previous administration to withdraw US troops from Afghanistan, ”RIA Novosti quotes him.

At the same time, Kabulov expressed doubt that it would be "about cardinal changes."

In his opinion, the parameters of the withdrawal of American troops may be changed or US soldiers will be replaced by employees of private military companies.

Earlier, the acting head of the Pentagon Christopher Miller said that by January 15, 2021, the United States will reduce the number of its troops in Iraq and Afghanistan to 2,500.
