The head of the second Asia department of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Zamir Kabulov, voiced Moscow’s position in connection with the refusal of Europe and the United States to unfreeze Kabul’s financial assets. Kabulov said that Russia considers this decision outrageous.

According to Kabulov, of the approximately 9 billion national holdings of the country, more than 8 are in the United States, and one and a half billion are frozen in Europe. Kabulov expressed the point of view that against the background of this decision, the statement that  Washington cares about the welfare of the people of Afghanistan, they look hypocritical.

Kabulov promised that Russia and its international partners will continue to seek the unfreezing of assets.
