Afghan thanked the Ministry of Defense for returning to the Russian Federation

An Afghan citizen who arrived in Russia on military transport planes thanked the Russian Defense Ministry for returning. This became known on Sunday, December 19.

“I would like to thank the Ministry of Defense and Russia in general for the opportunity to return to Russia and continue my Master’s studies. In general, the situation in Afghanistan is now dangerous. There is no work, people are afraid of the future, I do not know what will happen next. The situation is unstable, ”said one of the arrivals.

Il-76 aircraft of the Russian Ministry of Defense with people evacuated from Afghanistan landed at the Chkalovsky airfield near Moscow on Saturday, December 18. On board were about 200 citizens of the Russian Federation and Afghanistan.

The situation in Afghanistan escalated in May 2021 after the start of the withdrawal of American troops who had been in the country since 2001. Members of the Taliban (an organization that is under UN sanctions for terrorist activities) launched an attack on the country’s major cities and entered Kabul on August 15, announcing the end of the war.
