"The US military mission in Afghanistan is over," TASS quoted Kirby as answering the relevant question at a briefing.

The spokesman was asked to clarify whether this response meant that the United States would not support the resistance forces in Panjshir with aircraft, but Kirby reiterated that the US mission was complete.

Earlier, German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said that Germany is ready to provide humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan and support its development if a number of conditions are met by the Taliban.
