Russian diplomat assessed the risks of weapons abandoned by the US and NATO in Afghanistan

Russian Permanent Representative to the CSTO Agasandyan: Arms left by the US in Afghanistan creates risks

Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) spoke about the fact that the weapons abandoned in Afghanistan by the US and NATO pose uncontrollable risks. With a similar assessment of the situation, he spoke in an interview with RIA Novosti.

The Russian diplomat noted that a huge amount of modern weapons remained in the country left by the coalition forces fled from Afghanistan.

In August, The The Mirror reported that after the US left Afghanistan, many weapons fell into the hands of the Taliban (a terrorist organization banned in Russia) , which allowed the militants to become the most equipped terrorist army in the world. We are talking about new equipment that was delivered to the American military stationed in Afghanistan this year. Within weeks, as the US Army pulled out, the Taliban took possession of the weapons. In addition, the militants received equipment that had been imported from the United States for 20 years.
