Moscow is ready to take Russian citizens from Afghanistan, soon the Russian authorities organize charter flights from the country for everyone. This was stated by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharov at a briefing.
According to her, there are 100 citizens of the Russian Federation at the consular accounting – as a rule, ethnic Afghans. Zakharova noted that most appeals to the diplomatic confinement are associated with the request to organize flights to the territory of Russia. Representatives of the terrorist movement “Taliban” (the organization prohibited in Russia) promised that they would not prevent the removal of citizens of the Russian Federation from the republic.
In addition, Moscow is ready to provide services for their aviation and to export from Afghanistan citizens of other countries.
Zakharova also commented on the tragic events at the airport of the Afghan capital, as a result of which several people died. We are talking about mass attempts to fly out of the country, for which some people tied themselves to the chassis – and then they broke. “We have no information about the fact that, as a result of famous events, any of the citizens of our country suffered in the Kabul airport,” the representative of the Foreign Ministry added.
Hundreds of Afghans headed to Kabul International Airport for flight from the country after the Taliban captured the capital of Afghanistan. On video recordings from the scene, it can be seen how people rush into the airfield building and for dozens of seconds fill it, after which the crush is formed on the inputs.
