Putin: Russia will not interfere in Afghanistan

– The Soviet Union had its own experience with this country. We have learned our lesson, Putin said on Tuesday, just over a week after the Taliban took control of most of Afghanistan.

The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979 to support the Communist government’s fight against Muslim guerrilla groups.

The war lasted for about ten years, claiming up to two million Afghan lives and sending another seven million fleeing their homes. More than 14,000 Soviet soldiers were also killed.
