MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The Kremlin does not believe that publications of Russian President Vladimir Putin supporting the withdrawal of the US troops from Afghanistan is an attempt to shift responsibility, as it is impossible anyway, spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on 24 August.
Peskov was asked to comment on reports that Putin called against US military presence in Central Asia and Afghanistan during his meeting with US President Joe Biden in Geneva. The president was asked if there is a goal to shift responsibility for troops’ withdrawal from Afghanistan on someone else.

Resistance to Taliban May Result in Long-Term Civil War in Afghanistan, CSTO Says
Following a weeks-long offensive launched after the US started withdrawing forces from Afghanistan, the Taliban (a terrorist group, banned in Russia) entered Kabul on 15 August  and caused the civilian government to fall. This prompted thousands of locals to seek escape from the country for fear of reprisals from the militants. Many countries have since begun evacuating their diplomatic missions and citizens from the Central Asian nation.
*The Taliban is a terrorist organisation banned in Russia and many other countries.
