Washington officially allowed government agencies and NGOs to work with the Taliban, bypassing sanctions i> (a terrorist organization banned in Russia) in Afghanistan, bypassing existing international sanctions. This became known from the report of the Chief Inspector General of the United States Sean W. O'Donnell on Operation Sentinel of Liberty.
According to information from the report, as part of the military operation, the US authorities issued an official permit to government agencies and a number of organizations for interaction with the Taliban.
Earlier, O'Donnell said that the main mistake in the training of the Afghan military was an attempt to create an army on the American model. According to the report, US forces used “overly American models” in Afghanistan that were not adapted to the specific needs of the Afghan military.
Earlier, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken spoke about the fate of US weapons that fell into the hands of the Taliban. He doubted that the abandoned weapons could have been transferred to other groups. According to the diplomat, there is no evidence of the transfer of weapons to terrorist organizations.
