Russian Embassy: The Afghan President fled with cars full of money, part of which remained at the airport

The Russian Embassy in Kabul revealed to “Sputnik” agency, that the Afghan President, Ashraf Ghani, fled Kabul with cars full of money, some of which remained at the airport because he was unable to transport all the money.

And the press secretary of the diplomatic mission, Nikita Ishchenko, said: “As for the downfall of the regime, it was distinguished by the method of Rich’s escape from Afghanistan: four cars were full of money, and another part of the money tried to put it in a helicopter, but it did not absorb it, so part of the money remained lying on the floor of the runway. “.

Earlier, the media, citing the Taliban, reported that they control more than 90% of Afghan government buildings and almost all major checkpoints in Kabul.

The situation in Afghanistan has particularly worsened in recent weeks, with the Taliban advancing into the major cities. On Sunday, media and sources said the Taliban control all border crossings. Later that day, gunmen said they entered Kabul and took control of the presidential palace. Afghan President Ashraf Ghani said he left the country “to prevent the massacre”. The official representative of the Taliban’s political office, Muhammad Naeem, said that the war in Afghanistan is over, and the form of government in the country will become clear in the near future.
