12:46 GMT 16.07.2021 (Updated: 13:20 GMT 06.08.2022) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Tashkent has received Washington’s request to host Afghans who helped the United States, a source familiar with the matter told Sputnik on Friday.
"Yes, we have received such a request. But this is a very difficult issue", the source said.

Last week, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said the Biden administration will fly Afghan interpreters to third countries in August where they can wait until their special immigrant visas are approved. They are
