Russia warns of civil war in Afghanistan
Russia says it sees the risk of a civil war in Afghanistan but will not interfere in their case.
Potentially, “there is risk of a renewed civil war in Afghanistan,’’ Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday.
“Of course, no one intends to interfere in these events,’’ Peskov said when asked about possible Russian intervention in the conflict.
But he said the current situation posed “an additional danger and threats.’’
Russia was watching the triumphant advance of the Islamist Taliban in Afghanistan with concern.
Among other things, it feared that fighters in Central Asia could penetrate into former Soviet territory.
Moscow has long been engaged in negotiations with the Taliban, who took power in Afghanistan just over a week ago.
