Kabul, Afghanistan – Hours after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Taliban leadership within Afghanistan pledged to send Ukraine state-of-the-art military weapons and other advanced hardware to help thwart the Russian attack. Taliban commander Akhtar Mansour stated: “We have so much of this stuff laying around, we won’t even miss it.” According to Mansour, the gesture is part of a larger Taliban initiative of ‘paying it forward’. “We fought the Americans with rifles the Russians gave us decades ago.” recounts Mansour. “Then Biden leaves a battalion’s worth of equipment for us. Now we give that to the Ukranians to fight the Russians. It’s just one big circle of life…and death. Mostly death.”
