New York reveals Russia has given rewards to the Taliban for attacks on US troops. Whenever the US president sought to withdraw troops from Afghanistan and end the war, Russian-backed fighters were encouraged to hit US targets. Details have surfaced of Russia's alleged efforts to escalate the ongoing war in Afghanistan.
According to a report in the American newspaper New York Times, Russia has claimed that it has given rewards to the fighters in Afghanistan in return for attacks on the American army. According to the report, when US President Donald Trump was working for peace in Afghanistan, attacks on US forces would have started at the same time due to the rewards given to the fighters by Russia. The conversation has been stalled.
The newspaper said without disclosing the identities of the officials concerned, President Donald Trump was informed about the situation but did not decide on the modalities of retaliation. The US newspaper quoted a Kremlin spokesman as saying that Russia was not yet aware of the allegations.
It is worth mentioning here that at the time of Russia's worst defeat at the hands of jihadists in Afghanistan, the jihadists in Afghanistan had the support of Washington. The New York Times report highlighted Russia's interests in helping the Taliban in attacks on US forces, saying one reason could be that Russia wants to keep the United States in Afghanistan.
