Putin says developments in Afghanistan as ‘Humanitarian Catastrophe’

Vladivostok, Russia: Russian President Vladimir Putin described the situation in Afghanistan after the US troops withdrawal as a humanitarian catastrophe.

“This a catastrophe indeed. These are not just my words, this is what US analysts admit … If we look at the number of people who used to work for the Collective West, the United States and its allies, and are now abandoned in Afghanistan, this is a humanitarian catastrophe,” Putin said on Friday at a plenary session of the Eastern Economic Forum.

Democracy cannot be imposed on a nation through violent methods, if people need democracy they will eventually achieve it, the Russian president emphasized.
