The US Department of Defense does not currently have plans for the re-entry of American troops into Afghanistan. This was announced on September 28 by the head of the Pentagon, Lloyd Austin.

"At the moment, according to the decision of the President [US Joe Biden], we have left Afghanistan. We were not instructed to develop any plans to return to Afghanistan," he said at a hearing in the US Senate Armed Services Committee, broadcast by the US military department.

In addition, during his speech at the hearing, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Armed Forces, General Mark Milli, noted that the radical Taliban movement (recognized as terrorist, banned in the Russian Federation) has not yet severed ties with the Al-Qaeda terrorist network (banned in the Russian Federation) and remains a terrorist organization.

According to him, it remains to be seen whether the Taliban will be able to consolidate power or Afghanistan will fall apart as a result of the subsequent civil war. Milli also did not rule out that terrorists will again organize attacks from the territory of the country.

On September 27, former Afghan President Ashraf Ghani called on the international community to recognize the new government of the country.

On September 24, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said that the recognition of the legitimacy of the new Afghan authorities formed by the Taliban depends on their fulfillment of obligations in accordance with UN Security Council resolutions.


The situation in Afghanistan worsened in May 2021 after the start of the withdrawal of American troops who had been in the country since 2001. The Taliban launched an offensive against major cities of the country and entered Kabul on August 15, declaring the end of the war. Ashraf Ghani left the country on the same day.
