The head of the Russian National Security Council, Nikolai Patrushev, has said that America's goal in leaving Afghanistan was to focus more on military training and financial support for Ukrainian forces to confront Russia.
Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said earlier that if the US had not left Afghanistan, it would not have been able to allocate this amount of money to Ukraine.
Nikolai Patrushev, the head of the Russian National Security Council, considered Blinken's statement as confirmation of his claim and said: It turned out that the sudden withdrawal of America from Afghanistan was to focus on Ukraine.
He added: This was also confirmed in Blinken's statement. In addition to the money that Blinken talked about, some of the American weapons in Afghanistan have been transferred to Europe - especially Poland - and Europe was able to provide military assistance to the Kiev government in this way.
In general, he considered the situation of the world to be very complicated and chaotic and said that many countries in different regions are in political, social, military or economic crises at the same time.
Patrushev also said that Russia is not currently fighting with Ukraine, but with NATO and above all with America and England.
