On Friday, at a meeting in Moscow with his British counterpart Ben Wallace, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu recalled the sad experience of pumping weapons of individual states. The conversation on this topic was in connection with the massive supply of various military arsenal by the West to Ukraine.

"Let me remind you that almost $80 billion worth of weapons were left in Afghanistan not so long ago. If we talk about Javelins, anti-tank installations, then more than 100 of them were left in Afghanistan. If we talk about MANPADS to combat aviation means, then more than 150 of them were left," Shoigu said.

He is sure that all this, of course, poses a threat today. Especially considering the fact that only recently the number of fighters of the terrorist organization ISIS banned in the Russian Federation has doubled in Afghanistan. "And it is difficult for us to understand where and into which hands this weapon will fall. We would not like this topic to fade into the background. As is the topic of refugees from Afghanistan. As is the topic of drug trafficking from Afghanistan," the Russian Defense Minister stressed.
