🇷🇺🇺🇸🇨🇳 Extended “Troika” statement on peaceful settlement in Afghanistan:

We acknowledge the widespread and sincere demand of the Afghan people for a lasting and just peace and an end to the war.

We reiterate that there is no military solution in Afghanistan and a negotiated political settlement through an Afghan-led and Afghan-owned process is the only way forward for lasting peace and stability in Afghanistan.

We reiterate our call on all parties to the conflict in Afghanistan to reduce the level of violence in the country and on the Taliban not to pursue a Spring offensive. We condemn in the strongest terms any attacks deliberately targeting civilians in Afghanistan and call on all parties to respect their obligations under international humanitarian law in all circumstances, including those related to protection of civilians.
