Citizens of Russia, Ukraine and the CSTO countries are going to evacuate the Russian Foreign Ministry from Afghanistan. The evacuation involved four military transport aircraft, concentrated at the airfield in Ulyanovsk. In total, it is planned to take out over 500 people.

According to the Foreign Ministry, the head of the Ministry of Defense Sergei Shoigu organized the evacuation by military transport aircraft. The order to export citizens from Afghanistan was given by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The planes will also carry medical and nursing teams of military medics. In addition, the boards are equipped with an individual diet and medicines. However, there is no indication of exactly when the planes will go to Afghanistan.

Recall that after August 31, the Taliban * who occupied Kabul promised to ban the evacuation.

Representatives of the radical Taliban * movement occupied Kabul on August 15. At the same time, chaos began at the airport in the Afghan capital: people tried to grab the last chance and fly out of the country with a US military aircraft. The S-17 aircraft was able to accommodate 640 people. Some tried to climb onto a moving aircraft and fell from it when the plane took off. One of the local residents died in the chassis niche.

Many remained in the air harbor, waiting for another opportunity to escape from Kabul.

It became known yesterday that the last Afghan province of Panjshir is ready to surrender to the radicals.
