Stolen Afghan Assets Can Now be Used In Other Conflicts, Says UN Envoy
UNITED NATIONS (Sputnik) - Stolen Afghan assets can now be used in different conflict areas, the Russian Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Anna Evstigneeva said on Wednesday.
"This is to say nothing about the stolen Afghan assets, which can now even be used for other purposes in other conflict areas," Evstigneeva told the Security Council members.
In this context, the 'loud statements' of our Western colleagues about the worsening situation in Afghanistan are amoral, she added.

Last year, the UN said that it believes Afghan frozen assets belong to the Afghan people. An interim Afghan government led by the Taliban came to power in the fall of 2021 after the
