“You have repeatedly heard statements from both the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense that what is happening in Afghanistan is a matter of our deep concern, and that we are certainly ready to be with our partners against the background of the threat that events in Afghanistan may pose. "- quoted by RIA Novosti.
At the same time, Peskov noted that Russia has no plans to involve the military continent, although at the moment joint Russian-Tajik-Uzbek exercises are being held.
Earlier it was reported that about 1 thousand Russian military will take part in a trilateral exercise in Tajikistan, 20 km from the border with Afghanistan. In total, almost 1.5 thousand military personnel from Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan and 300 units of weapons and military equipment will be involved in the events.
