Putin declared the responsibility of the countries that fought in Afghanistan for 20 years for his fate

“With all the importance of our participation: both China and Russia ... the main responsibility for what is

happening

there (in Afghanistan. -

) is borne by those countries that have fought there for 20 years,” he said.

According to Putin, the first thing that should be done by these countries in this matter is to "unfreeze Afghan assets."

“And to enable Afghanistan to solve social and economic problems of paramount importance,” the Russian president added.

Earlier, the press secretary of the Russian president Dmitry Peskov said that now in Afghanistan there are all signs of a humanitarian catastrophe and economic collapse.
