Russia: America must accept defeat in Afghanistan

Ariana News Agency: The Russian Embassy in Washington declared: “Trillion dollars were wasted from American taxpayers and the American military campaign for Afghanistan was a tragedy.”

In a message on the occasion of the anniversary of the departure of the last American soldier from Afghanistan, the Russian Embassy in Washington wrote in a statement: “The American authorities must accept that the war in Afghanistan ended with their defeat.
