US President Joe Biden made a speech at the White House on the withdrawal of the American contingent from Afghanistan. During his speech, the American leader warned against talking about the need to prolong this mission or prolong the withdrawal of troops in time.

“The withdrawal of our troops from Afghanistan at a slower pace would affect the security of the contingent… Such risks are unacceptable… Those who believe that we should stay for another six months or another year, I ask them to take into account the lessons of the recent past… The experience of almost 20 years has shown that another year of fighting in Afghanistan is not a solution, but rather a recipe to stay there indefinitely”, – Biden stressed.

He also added that from now on, the people of Afghanistan should independently make a decision about their future.
