Putin Attacks US Forces
In this meeting Russian President Putin said:-
It was wrong for US forces to flee Afghanistan after the Taliban took over. Since then the situation there has not improved. International terrorist organizations including Al-Qaeda have stepped up their operations there.
40 lakh people are in need of urgent humanitarian assistance. Drug trafficking has increased. About 80 percent of the opium on the world market comes from Afghanistan. Some countries may try to take advantage of this situation under the guise of counter-terrorism. We need to find a solution for all these.
Thus he spoke.
