																	Moscow is staging an extraordinary comeback on the Afghan chessboard after a 
																	gap of two decades following the Soviet Union's nine-year adventure that ended 
																	in the withdrawal of its last troops from Afghanistan 1989. In a curious 
																	reversal of history, this is possible only with the acquiescence of the United 
																	States. Moscow is taking advantage of the deterioration of the war in 
																	Afghanistan and the implications for regional security could be far-reaching.

																	Talking to reporters alongside Burns, Kislayak said, "We [Russia] in the past 
																	have already provided military equipment to Afghanistan and we feel there is 
																	now a demand by the Afghan population for the ability of Afghanistan to take 
																	its security in its own hands." He added it was "possible" that Russia might 
																	increase the delivery of arms to Afghanistan, though "I wouldn't be eager to 
																	put a number on it".
