Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov answered a question about the possibility of sending Russian troops to Afghanistan.
“I believe that the answer is obvious,” he said during a speech at the Far Eastern Federal University.
Lavrov added that the Collective Security Treaty Organization will immediately consider the possibility of providing assistance to Tajikistan in the event of an attack by militants from Afghanistan.
The minister also said that the United States de facto recognized the failure of its mission at the moment when it decided to withdraw troops from Afghanistan.
He noted that America, reducing its military presence in the country, and Kabul, which does not want to form a transitional government together with the radical Taliban movement (a terrorist organization banned in Russia), left the conflict in Afghanistan to be resolved by force.
Recall that the US military must leave Afghanistan by September 11.
