Russia’s MFA comments on CNN videos about alleged Russian weapons deliveries to Taliban
The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) has assessed groundless the accusations suggesting Russia delivers arms to the Taliban fighters, Gazeta.ru Russian media outlet reports, citing the statement by the MFA.
Earlier, the CNN released ‘exclusive videos suggesting the Taliban have received improved weaponry in Afghanistan that appears to have been supplied by the Russian government via Iran and Tajikistan.’
“It is impossible to take videos that show obsolete weapons of unidentifiable origin seriously. The weapons in question have no brand stamps or numbers. These are standard weapons that could be made anywhere. Everyone knows that these weapons were produced not only in Russia but also in other countries, including in Eastern Europe,” the MFA’s statement reads.
