Original title: Russian Foreign Minister: The United States withdrew from Afghanistan, in fact admitted that the mission failed
Overseas Network, July 8th According to reports from the Russian Satellite News Agency and RIA Novosti on the 8th, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov said in a speech at the Russian Far Eastern Federal University on the 7th that the United States had withdrawn its troops from Afghanistan and in fact admitted that the mission had failed.
Lavrov pointed out that due to the withdrawal of US troops, the situation in Afghanistan is rapidly deteriorating and the threat of terrorist attacks is increasing. He believes that the extremist organization “Islamic State” is strengthening its influence in the northern border area of Afghanistan.
The spokesperson of the Afghan Ministry of National Defense, Fuad Aman, confirmed on July 2 that the United States and NATO troops have all withdrawn from the Bagram Air Force Base, the largest military base in Afghanistan, and this base has been officially handed over to the Afghan army.
According to the agreement signed by the previous U.S. administration and the Taliban in Afghanistan in February 2020, the U.S. promised to withdraw its troops in phases, and all will withdraw from Afghanistan before May 1, 2021. After the current administration of the United States came to power, it announced that it would withdraw its troops from May 1 this year and withdraw all American troops from Afghanistan before September 11. Many NATO countries also said they would withdraw their troops from Afghanistan. (Overseas Net Zhang Qi)
