Blinken spoke about the remaining US citizens in Afghanistan

“We are in constant contact with the Americans who remain in Afghanistan and may still want to leave,” he said at a press conference.

The head of the State Department stressed that most of the Americans remaining in Afghanistan have dual citizenship, and some of them have decided not to leave the republic.

“Afghanistan (for them -

) is a home ... members of their large family live there.

So it is not surprising that the decision to leave or not to leave the place that they consider to be their home is extremely painful for them, ”says Blinken.

According to Bloomberg, the US presidential administration and private organizations will pay the evacuated Afghans $ 2,275 in financial aid.

Earlier, the State Department reported that the US authorities did not intend to charge fees for evacuation flights from Afghanistan.
