MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 27th September, 2018) NATO's "erroneous" strikes in Afghanistan are the result of gross miscalculations by the US leadership and the White House's stake on military solutions, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement Thursday.
"The increasing number of civilian deaths as a result of coalition forces' air strikes in Afghanistan cause serious concern. Three such incidents were registered in the past week alone," the ministry said.
"We consider the situation the result of gross miscalculations by the US leadership in Afghanistan and the erroneous stake of the White House on the military solution to problems in that country. We are calling on Washington to reconsider its short-sighted policy in favor of diplomatic efforts to launch an intra-Afghan dialogue. We demand that those guilty of criminal acts against civilians be held accountable," it said.
