Russia troops withdrawal

Baseless hysteria: that’s how Moscow describes as the West’s allegation regarding an imminent Russian attack on neighboring Ukraine. Repeated accusations of a possible Russian attack on Ukraine by the US and its Western allies have heightened tensions in Eastern Europe for weeks now. On Tuesday, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz held talks with Russian president Vladimir Putin in Moscow yet another attempt by a European leader to ease the ongoing tensions. During a joint presser following the meeting Scholz said all Europeans are aware that sustainable security on the continent can only be achieved together with Russia. Putin, for his part, stressed that his country is not after a war in Europe.

US “non- compliance”

Tehran calls on the western parties to the 2015 deal to take a realistic approach toward the Vienna talks. The Iranian foreign minister says in that case, a good deal will be within reach. Hossein Amir-Abdollahian made the remarks in a tweet following a phone call with his British counterpart, Elizabeth Truss. This as Iran and the remaining signatories to the JCPOA are engaged in intensive negotiations in Vienna to restore the agreement, left in limbo following the US withdrawal in 2018. Iran’s top security official has however, warned that the proven US non-compliance is the most significant threat to any agreement. Ali Shamkhani says the verifiable removal of sanctions and guarantees, the two main demands set out by Iran, are the integral part of a good agreement. Iran has also repeatedly dismissed any outside interference in the Vienna talks between the JCPOA signatories.

US seizure of  Afghan money

Protesters also demanded Washington compensate tens of thousands of Afghans killed during the US-led war on the country over the past two decades. Washington’s decision to seize Afghan funds comes as the country’s economy is on the brink of collapse. Afghanistan relied heavily on international aid but that too stopped once the Taliban rose to power in August, last year.
