the british army captures jalalabad and kandahar. imer appeals to the russians for the help promised by stoletov. kaufman sends a message to the minister of war milyutin. to avoid this project means to give afghanistan not only to english influence, but perhaps to complete subordination. all this will show afghanistan and india english power and our impotence. i will allow myself to think that all the existing and possible difficulties in affairs.

the ussr will again yield to the anglo-saxons in the geopolitical struggle for afghanistan 100 years later, when mikhail gorbachev orders an end to aid to the pro-soviet government of najib. the second anglo-afghan war lasts almost 2 years, sometimes with frightening accuracy repeating the events of the first war, forty years ago. british troops triumphantly enter kabul, afghans.

"we buy in the villages, in small towns, many of them still have weapons from that war, this is what was captured from the british as trophies, yeah, his grandfather had a gun like that while the british were fighting in afghanistan, the general's troops managed to break the resistance of the turkmens in fierce battles. russia completely annexed central asia. a talented fearless commander, liberator of the balkans, mikhail skobelev became a hero of the central asian campaign. on june 24, 1912, a monument was ceremoniously opened in his honor on tverskaya square in moscow. the monument was torn down immediately after the october revolution.

in a personal letter to the british ambassador lord daferin, tsar alexander reported that he had issued a decree on the final end of expansion, but the arguments of the russians london is clearly not convinced. on the southern borders of russia , skirmishes with the afghans begin. england is behind all of kabul's actions. in 1885, it accuses st. petersburg of attacking peaceful afghanistan. the english government receives a loan for the war with russia: 11 million pounds, the largest sum since the crimean war: british troops and navy are put on combat alert. alexander ii reacts harshly. the tsar writes to the russian ambassador in london, who asked what to tell english politicians.

there is no point in talking to them, he gives the order to mobilize the baltic fleet and declares a military alert, america is shaken by walrus, in the usual sober. an article appears with huge headlines: england and russia are fighting. as a result, in london they calculated what the war with russia would turn out to be and decided to negotiate? according to the preliminary agreement, afghanistan was to remain neutral, but in order to preserve the economy, which had already begun to develop in central asia, we made quite large concessions and we agreed to... that afghanistan would become a british zone of interest. the british gave money and weapons to create a new afghan state as a satellite state of british india and to counter russian expansionist

influence. so, to a large extent, modern afghanistan was created by an afghan ruler, but nevertheless, although afghans do not like to admit it, it was created with money and weapons. we were between two great powers. i don’t know if you have seen this famous cartoon where the afghan king abdul rahman khan ileimir shirali khan, one of these two kings, stands between the bear and the lion, trying to cope with both. somehow we managed to cope, in my opinion. the great game ended in 1907, when the british empire and the russian empire agreed

to end their differences in central asia. by that time, germany was already starting to get back on its feet, by the beginning of the 20th century an external enemy had appeared, now russia was perceived by london as a potential ally in the struggle for positions on the continent, or rather as steamroller, which if the opportunity arose would crush the german war machine, while in 1917, as soon as the russian empire began to crack at the seams and collapsed, the british again tried to take control of the crimea, the russian black sea region, the south caucasus, the caspian... region over central asia, by the way, the basmachi movement in central asia was largely controlled and even financed by british intelligence. the implementation of british plans in the southern direction was prevented only by the confident actions of bolsheviks to establish soviet power throughout the former

russian empire. today, the rivalry with russia in the 19th century outweighs the fact that russia was britain's ally. the soviet union was almost an enemy, a cold war rival, and this reaffirmed all the stereotypes of the great game. in this case, the great game still matters to britain. the british, we fought the british, we fought the soviet union. who are these countries now? they are friends now. afghanistan, the new big game involves americans, chinese, russians, indians, iran and pakistan are also part of this game, and afghanistan is also taking part in the game. we are trying to maximize our interests, the players of the big game are trying

to maximize their interests. let's see who gets more, who gets less. the idea of ​​weakening russia as a state, they have never died, they have always lived, they live. and will live as long as russia exists as a state, because russia is definitely a challenge. the status of a great power is not a shiny piece of fabric on a national dress that can be kept in a chest and worn as an order on holidays, it is a huge responsibility for the territory that is involved in the russian historical orbit, for those peoples that we involved.

was there a winner in that great game between russia and britain? i think that there was not, firstly, because the results of this game have already been radically revised more than once, and secondly, because the game is still going on. now the latest news is that russian troops of the center group have taken control of the settlement of zelenyi kut in the donetsk people's republic. this was reported by the ministry of defense. during the battles , ten brigades of the ukrainian armed forces, two brigades of marines , and an assault brigade of the national police were defeated. ukraine, the enemy's losses amounted to...

israel is expanding the operation against uranus aimed against its nuclear program, this was stated in the office of benjamin netanyahu, there they also called for residents of the country to remain close to shelter, as a result of the night attacks three people were killed and more... 150 were injured. our own correspondent, sergei poshkov, will tell about the situation in israel . the main targets of the iranian strikes are strategic and military. the list includes airports, military bases in northern israel, nuclear research centers in the south, the general staff building in tel aviv. i can tell you that we have several wounded, but i cannot go into detail about the exact number or their exact location. unit

israel bomb disposal police are here at several other sites. we are doing everything we can to ensure the safety of the people. the launch of ballistic missiles from the islamic republic, local pro systems track almost immediately. when the missiles reach the air borders of israel, an annoying long-drawn-out siren is turned on. last night this happened three times and as... almost completely destroyed, but thanks to the fact that citizens followed the instructions of the home front command, given the large-scale destruction, the wounded

comparatively little. when a special warning about the launch of a zaran missile is received, there are a few minutes to go down to a specially equipped basement. at 9:00 p.m. , a siren sounded and the rear service asked all israelis to immediately go down to bomb shelters, special rooms prepared in advance, in this case. destroyed damaged several apartment buildings, dozens of people were injured, at least three died. many buildings were destroyed innocent citizens were injured, some of them were trapped, some have received.

almost 50 years threatens to destroy our country, the state of israel. the goal of israel's operation is to thwart the nuclear and ballistic missile threat of the islamic regime. as we achieve our goal, we also clear the way for you to achieve your freedom. the confrontation between israel and iran promises to be long and bloody. sergey pashkov, alexander ivanyuk, anastasia demyanets, lead israel. iran has warned the united states, france, and britain that if they help israel, their facilities in the near in the east will become targets for strikes,

iranian media writes, meanwhile, in the last hour , explosions occurred in the northwest and west of the islamic republic, and it is also reported that sixty people died in the collapse of a house in the city of shahit chamran as a result of an israeli strike, including 20 children. our own correspondent in the middle east, alexander bilibov, will tell you more about the situation in iran. the retaliatory strikes on israel by the aerospace forces of the islamic revolutionary guard corps have become the largest ever iran and israel. including the latest hypersonic models were able to overcome the layered system of israeli air defense and strike various targets, including military facilities and idf command headquarters, the iranian military command reported.

for the first time, iran struck not only israeli military bases, such as nivatim, where idf fighters are based, but also decision-making centers. the kiriya government building complex, located in the very center of tel aviv was the target of several iranian missiles tonight, which successfully hit their targets. middle eastern media also reported hits on israeli defense industry facilities involved in missile production, the tel aviv nuclear research center, and the israeli defense ministry and national security building. "we will not show any leniency, their lives will undoubtedly become bitter. israel should not think that it was the end of the strike. no, they started it and unleashed the war. at the same time, iran itself was forced to repel the missiles today . another attack from israel. the airfields in tabriz and shiras were hit. the international airport of mehrabat, the capital of the islamic republic, was attacked. new strikes, according to local media, were carried out

on tehran itself, in particular on the government district of the city, where "it was not just an attack on iran, it was an attack on international law and order, an attack on the united nations, an attack on every nation that believes in the rule of law, not force. israel has obviously taken it upon itself. launches on israel in the near future. a report distributed by iranian media says that during the next attacks on israel, the ksir aerospace forces may use about 2,000 ballistic missiles. iran has openly stated that it is ready to expand the war

against israel, and new strikes by the islamic republic will be much more powerful than those that have already been carried out. and new targets for iranian ballistic missiles may be regional military bases of those countries that decide to provide support for israel. alexander belivov, dmitry sherbakov, aleftina sorokina and sergey marochev, vesti middle east. due to the escalation of the situation in the middle east, the first group of russians was evacuated from iran today. as reported in our media, this happened with the participation of the russian embassies in tehran and baku, as well as the azerbaijani side. we are talking about the film crew. uzbekistan and tajikistan. our diplomats immediately got involved in the work. on the night of june 14, 2025 , with the participation of the russian embassy in iran and the russian embassy in azerbaijan, the first group of 86

people, including two children, has already crossed the dry section of the state border between iran and azerbaijan, through multilateral. i must say about the russian embassy in tehran and the consulate, the guys brought us to the practically door of the game and the ministry of culture of the russian federation, personally olga borisovna, my beloved, who is now in touch, a group

of and of course the native group of the leadership of the national media group. israel's attacks on iran were carried out with the intelligence political support of the united states. the permanent representative of the islamic republic announced this to the un at a meeting of the security council. he called tel aviv's aggression an act of state terrorism, a violation of international law. and our permanent representative

noted that attacks against uranus have no justification. according to vasily nebenzya, the actions of the jewish state are pushing the region towards a large-scale nuclear catastrophe. details from our special correspondent in the united states, elizaveta kharmtsova. the united states, the ruling circles, have a unified position, pro-government, some. today donald trump held a meeting in the white house, the so-called situation room, about what could be the ways out of the situation, there are no structures now, the fact is that different groups of influence are now making decisions trying to influence people who are to give orders, their assessments of the conflict that has developed today, in its current stage, were given by representatives of states at a meeting of the un security council, russia.

defense and israel is no exception. the united states was informed about the strikes in advance, but our military was not involved. our absolute priority is the protection of us citizens and military personnel. we warn that

no state or their proxy forces should strike our military bases in the region. donald trump has been saying paradoxical things throughout the day, on the one hand, he has been saying that there is a chance for a diplomatic settlement, on the other hand, he has been making it clear that he is very pleased with the way israel is leading. from the us side. two weeks ago, i spoke with the prime minister netanyahu in jerusalem, we had an understanding that within 60 days an attack by israel could begin.

iran does not need any nuclear program. does this concern practical tasks or not? well, just about this discussion that is currently taking place in american political society, today the american journalist tucker callson, who traditionally supports donald trump and the foreign policy course pursued by the republican administration, spoke out.
