Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Russia and Afghanistan have no obstacles or sanctions barriers to expanding cooperation in the economic sphere and strengthening security forces.

Russia will continue to strike at ammunition supply points for the Ukrainian Armed Forces and ports in response to Ukraine’s threats to intensify attacks on Russian refineries, said reserve colonel Mikhail Timoshenko.

Sergei Lavrov congratulated the Afghan government on the fifth anniversary of the withdrawal of NATO troops, noting the successes in overcoming the consequences of many years of occupation.

The actions of the Russian Armed Forces against Ukraine are retaliation for attacks on the peaceful economy, Peskov said. The Kremlin also commented on the tactics of new drone strikes on Kyiv and the situation with bridges.

This week Hungary may lift its veto on the technical stage of negotiations on Ukraine's membership in the EU. Prime Minister Peter Magyar instructed diplomats not to block letters on the opening of blocs on the internal market and competitiveness policy.
