US stealing Afghan money
The Taliban have slammed as theft, an executive order by the US president that allows Washington to seize half of the Afghan funds frozen in New York’s Federal Reserve. A Taliban spokesman says the move represents the lowest level of the human and moral decay of a country. Under the order, half of the 7 billion dollars of Afghan assets held in the US could be used to compensate families of 9/11 victims. The other half can be released for humanitarian aid to Afghanistan. The move on the funds is pending a judicial decision. A senior US administration official says it will take months to unfreeze funds for aid to Afghanistan. This comes as rights groups and the United Nations have warned of a deteriorating humanitarian crisis in the country.
“West’s disinformation on Ukraine”

He slammed the West for what he called goring Ukraine with weapons. Shoigu stressed that Moscow does not plan to invade the country. He made the comments during a meeting with his British counterpart Ben Wallace in Moscow. Wallace said British troops are in Ukraine for training purposes.
