Russian President Vladimir Putin said on August 22, 2021, that he will not allow Afghan refugees into Russia, since he doesn't want to deal with "militants" disguised as asylum-seekers.

The Russian strongman slammed Western nations for placing Afghan refugees in countries even near his border while their US and European visas are being processed.


“Does that mean that they can be sent without visas to those countries, to our neighbors, while they themselves don’t want to take them without visas?” Putin raged to the Russian TASS news agency. “Why is there such a humiliating approach to solving the problem?’
He said he will not accept “militants showing up here under cover of refugees.”

The US has negotiated with various countries to at least temporarily accept Afghans who are fleeing their country after its swift takeover by the Taliban.


The Islamic extremist group took control of the country after President Biden ordered the withdrawal of US forces following a 20-year presence.

Rather, the Kremlin has praised the Taliban for “restoring order” to Afghanistan.


“We are seeing the statements the Talibs made about ceasing combat actions, an amnesty for all of those involved in the confrontation, about a need for a nationwide dialogue,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said. “They are being implemented.”

They all should STAY in the Middle East and put to work there.

They do not belong on our soil. They cannot be trusted here. They hate our country, and they do not assimilate.

They try to change us into the destruction they fled and created themselves.
