Putin calls for unblocking Afghanistan’s funds to satisfy humanitarian needs

[FOOLS_NIGHTMARE]

Russian President Vladimir Putin has called on Western banks to unblock Afghanistan’s national reserves, first of all, for the country’s humanitarian needs.

"It is necessary to help the Afghan people, at least to unblock Afghan money deposited with Western banks, first of all in the United States. It is necessary to unblock them, to give people an opportunity to resolve basic problems. At least, to unblock purposefully to resolve humanitarian problems: to buy medical equipment, medicines, to support children. It is possible to do it. This money will not go to buy weapons, the more so as the Taliban (outlawed in Russia) don’t need weapons. The Taliban has weapons worth billions of dollars, which have been abandoned there," he said on Tuesday at a plenary session of the VTB Capital investment forum Russia Calling!

Putin stressed that the current situation in Afghanistan is very difficult. "This is not the right time and place to characterize the Taliban movement and so on, but the Taliban controls the situation in the country," he noted.

The president called for "looking a step ahead".

The US government should consider just pay American farmers and medical supplies companies to supply food and medications/medical supplies worth $9.5 Billion, so it can be sent to Afghanistan, through NGOs and call it a day.

A gesture to smooth over the relationship and win US companies access to mining in Afghanistan so it isn’t all taken by China for Cheap.

A gesture to smooth over the relationship and win US companies access to mining in Afghanistan so it isn’t all taken by China for Cheap.

It's not easy to compete with the Chinese lithium multinationals who already dominate the industry globally, and even if Americans by any chance gain access it's very likely they'll again re-sell the business to Chinese. But don't worry they don't work like a cartel in fact they compete with each other fiercely, it will be fair deal for the Afghans.
