The US trying to set up military bases near Afghanistan: Russia
New Delhi: Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told the Afghan media that the Washington government is trying to set up military bases near Afghanistan. “President Vladimir Putin has told his American counterpart, Joe Biden, at the Geneva Summit that the country is against the US attempts to form agreements with Central Asian countries to deploy the US military on their territory,” Lavrov said.
According to the media report the US proposals have been sent to Pakistan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan, however, the countries rejected the proposal.
“Well aware of the Americans’ intrusiveness, I do not rule out that they will be pressing for the same aim from different sides. I have heard that they have been trying to persuade India to grant the Pentagon some opportunities on the Indian territories,” Lavrov added.
Certainly, the bases would be for suppressing Al Qaeda and Daesh, but the disaster would be with Afghanistan people, and forming military bases will affect the security of the region report says.
