Russian President Vladimir Putin said the entire international community has to face the consequences of the American withdrawal from Afghanistan, speaking from Moscow via videoconference at the XIII BRICS summit on Thursday.

“The current round of the crisis in Afghanistan is a direct consequence of irresponsible extraneous attempts to impose someone else’s values on the country and to build ‘democratic structures’ using socio-political engineering techniques,” said Putin, adding “All of that leads to nothing but destabilisation and, ultimately, chaos, after which the masterminds behind these experiments hastily retreat leaving their charges behind. The entire international community then has to face the consequences.”
The Russian leader also mentioned that Moscow has no interest in Afghanistan remaining a threat to the surrounding countries or having terrorism and illegal drug trafficking coming from its territory.

“We are interested in stopping the flow of migration, [we want] for Afghans to be able to live peacefully and with dignity in their homeland,” added Putin.

The 13th BRICS summit kicked off on Thursday under India’s chairmanship via videoconference. The leaders of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa convened to discuss cooperation within the organisation on a wide range of issues.
