Russia to Arm Afghan Opposition, Open Air Aid Route Posted Monday, September 24 2001 @ 22:50:10 MEST Reuters September 24, 2001 02:47 PM ET MOSCOW (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin declared on Monday that Russia would support U.S. military operations in Afghanistan by funneling arms to the Afghan opposition and opening its air space for aid shipments. In a televised speech, the Kremlin leader said Russia would widen cooperation with the internationally recognized government of Afghanistan "and render extra aid to its armed forces in the form of arms supplies and military equipment." Unveiling a five-point policy plan, he said Russia was ready to offer its air space for overflights by planes carrying humanitarian supplies to regions where "anti-terrorist" operations were being carried out. He also pledged that Russian intelligence services would pass on information they received about "the infrastructure, the places where international terrorists stay and fighters' training bases."
