Volodin commented on the situation in Afghanistan

He said that "the 20-year stay of American troops in Afghanistan ended with a tragedy and a humanitarian catastrophe."

According to him, "the number of drug laboratories has increased hundreds of times, the population has become impoverished, more than 250 thousand civilians have died as a result of NATO military operations and at the hands of terrorists."

“Now we are witnessing terrible shots of what is happening.

What's ahead?

One can only guess.

This cannot but worry us.

Afghanistan shares borders with countries that are our strategic partners.

And the Russian borders are much closer to the same United States, ”said Volodin.

Earlier it was reported that EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg discussed the situation in Afghanistan.

Also, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov discussed with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken the situation in Afghanistan.
