On August 19, former US Secretary of State John Kerry said that US President Donald Trump could not resist Russia’s “intervention”. As an example, he cited fake statements by the media about Moscow ‘s “conspiracy” with the Taliban to kill the American military in Afghanistan.
Similar information appeared in several American newspapers, notably The New York Times, in July. The articles claimed that the Russian Federation allegedly offered a reward to the Taliban (banned in Russia) for the murder of the US military.
Moscow categorically rejected unsubstantiated accusations and accused the media of spreading fakes. The reports were also denied by American intelligence and the Taliban themselves.
