During a meeting with representatives of United Russia, Putin did not support the idea of the West to place refugees from Afghanistan in Central Asia until they receive visas to the United States and Europe. He called this principle “humiliating.” The president also noted that Russia should not let militants from Afghanistan under the guise of refugees.
“It means that these countries can be directed without visas to our neighbors, but we don’t want to take it without visas. This is just a humiliating approach to solving this issue … We do not want some militants under the guise of refugees to appear again … We do not want us at least something that we had in The 90s and in the middle of the two thousandth years, when we actually went through the fighting in the North Caucasus, ”said Vladimir Putin.
In his opinion, refugees from Afghanistan “can be thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, and maybe millions.” “And we have no visa restrictions with the closest allies and neighbors, and the border is a thousand kilometers. He sat on anything – at least on a car, at least on a donkey and drove along the steppe. And what will we do about it? ” – said the head of state.
