Former US President George W. Bush called the decision to withdraw the US contingent from Afghanistan a mistake. The German edition of Deutsche Welle informed about it. According to him, the consequences of such a step would be “incredibly bad”.
“I am afraid that Afghan women and girls will suffer indescribable harm,” the politician said. He also said that he was not sure about the safety of the translators who helped the alliance's army. “They will simply be abandoned to be killed by these very cruel people.” It all breaks my heart. “
US President Joe Biden previously announced the completion of the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan. Eventually, the US military will leave the country by the end of August this year. Along with the Americans, other NATO countries are leaving Afghanistan.
Russian President's Special Envoy for Afghanistan Zamir Kabulov previously said that the Taliban (a movement recognized as terrorist and banned in Russia) occupied more than a third of Afghanistan's territory. For the most part, they came under Taliban control without a fight as government troops left the garrison.
