MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Earlier, Russia provided Afghanistan with 10,000 Kalashnikov rifles and millions of rounds of ammunition as a gift following the Russian-Afghan security agreement.

“We’ve delivered [a cargo], that’s enough,” Kabulov told RIA Novosti when asked whether Russia would increase military deliveries to Afghanistan.

Late last year, Kabul reached out to Russia for military assistance in the fight against terrorism.
