Moscow : Moscow does not intend to sell weapons to the Afghan government led by the Taliban, Russian Special Presidential Representative for Afghanistan Zamir Kabulov told Sputnik, adding all talks about such a possibility are nonsense.
“It is absolute nonsense, I would not even think of such nonsense,” Kabulov said when asked to comment on Western media reports that Moscow allegedly can supply the Taliban with weapons.
The Taliban do not need any weapons, they have enough, the diplomat said, adding that the US left behind so many weapons that “it would be enough for two countries”.
He said it was more important to think if the Taliban, lacking money, starts selling these weapons, especially portable anti-aircraft systems, “which the Americans must have abandoned when they ran away. This … will fall into the hands of terrorist groups of all kinds from Europe to Africa. Then there will be big trouble”.
