• After the Biden administration’s disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal last year, Afghan special forces soldiers that fought alongside American troops were forced to flee to Iran.
• According to three former Afghan generals, these soldiers are being recruited by the Russian military to fight in Ukraine and avoid deportation to Afghanistan where they will face retribution from the Taliban.
• “They don’t want to go fight – but they have no choice,” one of the generals said. “They ask me, ‘Give me a solution? What should we do? If we go back to Afghanistan, the Taliban will kill us.”
