U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III boarding line during evacuation at Kabul airportUN, Jan 26 .US attempts to present its policy in Afghanistan as a success look hypocritical, the Russian Permanent Mission to the UN said. The Russian Mission published a commentary in response to the release of the US Permanent Mission to the UN dated January 20, which listed «facts» about the «restoration of American leadership in the UN in the first year Joe Biden's presidency.» «The US administration's attempts to present its policy in Afghanistan as a success look hypocritical. The result of the twenty-year presence of US troops and their NATO allies can hardly be considered a victory. Rather, on the contrary,» the commentary says. «The Americans entered Afghanistan with a special mission — the fight against terrorism. However, in reality, their arrival in the country only contributed to strengthening its status as a hotbed of terrorism and drugs, «the permanent mission of the Russian Federation notes. As Moscow points out, over the years, along with Al-Qaeda * and groupings associated with it appeared and firmly strengthened the influence of the «Islamic state *, and the growth of drug production wa reached unprecedented levels. At the same time, the socio-economic situation of the country continued to be deplorable, the commentary says.A marine who criticized the US withdrawal from Afghanistan appeared before the tribunal»Billions of injections ended up in the pockets of corrupt American puppets. As a result, the country turned into an international dependent without any prospect of independent development,» Russian diplomats say. According to them, the long-term presence of the United States in Afghanistan was worth a thousand lives of ordinary Afghans and American soldiers, as well as billions of dollars spent. «The result of separate negotiations with the Taliban movement ** behind the back of the Afghans, sponsoring the rotten regime of Ashraf Ghani and the Taliban coming to power was the irresponsible withdrawal of US troops. Photos with Afghans falling from the chassis of an American Boeing flew around the world,» the mission noted. «Against this background, the actions of the United States to shift responsibility for the current crisis in Afghanistan, as well as statements about the need for other states to restore the country, look highly dishonorable after twenty years of stay there by the NATO contingent,” the commentary says. In addition, the Russian permanent mission drew attention to the actions of the US military, “inflicting indiscriminate airstrikes, killing civilians, including women and children, without trial or investigation.” “Not to mention the actions of those operating in Afghanistan by American PMCs. It should not be forgotten that a moratorium was imposed by Washington on the investigation of these heinous crimes, as well as bringing the perpetrators to justice. Any attempts by the ICC were severely suppressed by the United States under the threat of imposing sanctions,» the permanent mission emphasized. * Terrorist organization banned in Russia ** The movement is under UN sanctions for terrorist activities. 01/294d96034c780cf6781c82d7277d5b6b.jpg» />The Afghan Ambassador to Washington announced the loss of confidence in the United States
