China News Service, August 20. According to a report from the Russian Satellite Network on the 19th, Josep Borelli, the EU’s high representative for foreign and security policy, said at the European Commission’s meeting on the situation in Afghanistan that the United States’ actions in Afghanistan for 20 years are required daily. It costs hundreds of millions of dollars.
He said: "The United States spends more than 300 million U.S. dollars in Afghanistan every day," but the results achieved in the end were very small.
According to the report, the total amount of funds invested by the United States for the troops stationed in Afghanistan exceeds 2 trillion U.S. dollars.
Josep Borelli said that what happened in Afghanistan was a real disaster for the Afghan people and other countries.
He believes that such a rapid regime change is a surprise to everyone, including the Taliban.
In recent weeks, the situation in Afghanistan has worsened with the Ataliban’s attacks on large cities.
On August 15, local time, a source said that the Taliban had controlled all border crossings.
Later that day, the Taliban stated that they had entered Kabul and controlled the presidential palace.
Afghan President Ghani stated that he has left the country to "avoid bloodshed."
In the early morning of August 16, Muhammad Naim, a spokesman for the Taliban political office, said that the war in Afghanistan was over.
