Statement by US Army Commander in Afghanistan
Nicholson accused Russia of "legitimization of the Taliban movement." According to the commander, Moscow is allegedly supporting the Taliban, thus undermining US and NATO efforts aimed at the fight against terrorism.

At the same time we believe that a military solution to the Afghan conflict does not exist, and the achievement of peace in the country is possible only through negotiations."

Obama Administration Continues 'Witch-Hunt'-Style Anti-Russian Hysteria
Zakharova said that the administration of US President Barack Obama continues a "witch hunt" and anti-Russian hysteria.
"We have to say with regret that with the support of the outgoing administration of Barack Obama, which recently scared the Americans with Russian hackers, Washington continues anti-Russian hysteria created a few years ago and, of course, it is increasingly beginning to look like a seemingly already forgotten past, namely the "witch hunt".
She said that Russia is not ruling out retaliatory measures should Russian diplomats be banned from leaving diplomatic missions in the United States.
"If current US authorities want to limit the movement of own representatives in Russia, they should take into account that everything in diplomacy is based on reciprocity. I mean that there will be the same attitude toward American diplomats in Russia," she said.
