Russia does not want to send Afghan helicopters to Ukraine

Russia would not want about one hundred aircraft and helicopters to be in Ukraine, on which the Afghan military left the country last year, the special representative of the Russian President for Afghanistan Zamir Kabulov Russian media said.

“It is important for us that those helicopters and planes that end up in Uzbekistan and Tajikistan do not get into Ukraine, when the Afghan military and military personnel fled [last August] and overtook several dozen helicopters and aircraft: about 60 to Tajikistan in Tajikistan and about 40-50 to Uzbekistan, ”he said.

Earlier, the deputy head of the Taliban, Mullah Abdul Gani Baradar, called on Uzbekistan to return planes and helicopters on which the Afghan pilots left the country after the fall of the former government.
