Vladimir Putin told CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) members that a new military alliance is needed to counter the United States in Afghanistan, calling the U.S.-NATO “terrorists of a different type”: “‘Terrorists’ of different types are gaining more influence, and they do not hide their plans for further expansion.

It is particularly important to closely monitor the situation near the external borders of the commonwealth.”
