The crisis in Afghanistan is associated with an attempt by the United States to impose its values on this country, said Russian President Vladimir Putin. Now, when the organisers of this experiment ‘hastily retreat,’ the entire world community is left to disentangle the consequences, he said.

The President noted that the withdrawal of Americans from the country led to a new crisis, and it is not yet clear how this situation will affect global security.

‘The current round of the crisis in Afghanistan is a direct consequence of irresponsible attempts to impose other people’s values from outside, the desire to build so-called democratic structures by methods of political engineering, without taking into account either the historical or national characteristics of other peoples. Ignoring the traditions by which they live in other countries, ‘Putin said at the BRICS summit.

The President noted that Russia is interested in the fact that Afghanistan does not turn into a threat to neighbouring countries and instead of mass migration ‘Afghans could live peacefully and with dignity in their homeland.’

The United States completed its retreat from Afghanistan on August 30. Together with the Americans, the Afghans were taken out of the country, who collaborated with the military before the change of power. After the withdrawal of foreign troops, the Taliban terrorist movement (banned in the Russian Federation) formed a government that included only Taliban leaders.
