Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Siyarthto called 20 years of NATO Mission to maintain national security in Afghanistan “failed”. He stated this in an interview with RT TV channel, RIA Novosti reports.
“20 years of the international mission ended with failure because we had plans to provide financial assistance to maintaining the national security of Afghanistan and defense for up to 2024,” the minister said, adding that even before the Alliance finally left Afghanistan It turned out that all the “plans were collapsed.”
Also, the Minister noted that Hungary took part in the evacuation of Afghan citizens from Afghanistan.
In September, NATO Jens Stoleberg Secretary General in an interview with the New York Times newspaper explained that the US Allies on NATO would not be able to continue military operation in Afghanistan after withdrawing from there by American troops. According to him, in April, US President Joe Biden held consultations with NATO partners on the conclusion of troops from Afghanistan, and all allies agreed with his decision.
May 1 began the official conclusion of US troops and the North Atlantic Alliance countries from the Afghan territories. After that, the situation in the country aggravated, the forces of the Taliban were activated (prohibited in Russia).
