Nebenzya: US attempts to shift responsibility for the situation in Afghanistan are hypocritical

“Attempts by American and NATO colleagues to shift responsibility for the current crisis situation in Afghanistan and for the reconstruction of the country to the international community as a whole look hypocritical,” Nebenzya said during a speech at the UN Security Council.

According to him, in six months the indicators of living standards in Afghanistan have fallen by a third, and the Afghans are "literally put on the brink of survival."

In mid-May, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Tajik leader Emomali Rahmon discussed by telephone the topic of increased terrorist activity in Afghanistan.

Secretary of the Russian Security Council Nikolai Patrushev noted that more than 300,000 units of Western heavy and light small arms were left in Afghanistan.
