In November, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the Russian Ministry of Defense, on behalf of the head of state Vladimir Putin, was evacuating citizens from Afghanistan who needed to leave in an extremely turbulent situation there. According to the presidential press secretary, not only Russians were evacuated, but also citizens of the countries of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO).
