Russia - Shoigu explained to his British colleague the risks of pumping weapons to individual countries

Russia (bbabo.net) - 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 to individual states. The conversation on this topic was in connection with the mass deliveries of various military arsenals by the West to Ukraine.

“Let me remind you that weapons worth almost $80 billion 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 aircraft, then there were more than 150 have been 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 in what hands these weapons will fall. We would not want this topic to go by the wayside. Like the topic of refugees from Afghanistan. Like the topic of drug trafficking from Afghanistan," the Russian Defense Minister stressed.
