Unchecked reliability. The White House appreciated Russia's collusion with the Taliban

The US intelligence services did not agree on media reports about the financing by the Russian special services of Taliban attacks (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) on American soldiers in Afghanistan, White House spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany said at a briefing on June 29. The US intelligence community does not agree on these allegations. There are different opinions of different members of the intelligence community regarding the reliability of these reports. The validity of this data is now being tested, said Kayleigh McEnany. According to the news agency, earlier the American newspaper The New York Times, citing unnamed sources, published an article in which Russian military intelligence is accused of allegedly offering a monetary reward to Taliban militants (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) for the murder of US soldiers in Afghanistan. No evidence of these charges has been provided. Nevertheless, employees of Russian diplomatic missions in the United States and Britain began to receive anonymous threats. The Russian Foreign Ministry has already described these publications as an unpretentious stuffing. * The Taliban is an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation.
