[REGNUM] The first flight with humanitarian aid for Afghanistan will arrive by plane of the Russian Ministry of Defense in Kabul. This was announced on November 17 by the Russian Ambassador to Kabul Dmitry Zhirnov in an interview with the Izvestia newspaper.

A batch of humanitarian cargo with a total weight of 36 tons will be delivered to Afghanistan on November 18. These are products, essential goods, medicines. In total, it is planned to bring over 100 tons of humanitarian aid.

As the Ambassador of the Russian Federation noted, the Taliban gave guarantees that humanitarian aid would be distributed among those in need. Zhirnov emphasized the importance of this condition, since, according to the Ambassador of the Russian Federation, "if there is a misfire, this will seriously complicate their further work with foreign donors."

In addition, Zhirnov clarified that Russian citizens will be taken from Afghanistan by return flights. In addition, about 900 Afghan students accepted to study at Russian universities to continue their education on a full-time basis will be able to fly to Russia on export flights.

Earlier IA REGNUM reported that the permanent representative of the Russian Federation to the UN Vasily Nebenzya announced that Russia would send humanitarian aid to Afghanistan in the near future.
