Russian Ambassador to the USA Anatoly Antonov called utter lies reports of Russia’s collusion with the radical movement “Taliban” (an organization banned in Russia). He stated this during an online discussion organized by the Center for the national interest in Washington.
“One lie in these us media and no substantive evidence. Russia does not want the victory of terrorism in Afghanistan”, – quotes the Ambassador RIA Novosti.
Antonov also noted that Russian diplomats have already discussed with our American colleagues the issues associated with a provocative article published in the New York Times.
Earlier, the Secretary of security Council of Russia Nikolai Patrushev denied the accusations about Russia’s collusion with the Taliban, Recalling that 2003 Supreme court decision, this group is officially recognized in our country as terrorist. Appeared material he called “unfounded speculation of journalists.” Later the information was denied also in the White house and the Pentagon. American intelligence recognized published in the NYT data is inaccurate.
