About 3,000 Afghan translators and their families will be able to relocate to the UK - the UK authorities stated, the ’Sky News’ reports. The decision was made due to the fears of possible revenge against the translators and their families by the Taliban, for their help to the British army. According to the head of the UK Ministry of Defense, Ben Wallace, "as the Western powers leave Afghanistan, the threat to the lives of the translators increases due to targeted attacks by the Taliban, among other reasons." 4 Russia. Meeting of the Presidents of the Russia and the USA The Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia, Sergei Ryabkov, stated that the agendas of Russia and the USA before the meeting of the presidents do not coincide. He underlined that Moscow is, as always, ready to respond to any questions posed by the USA. "Unfortunately, counter readiness is observed much less and less these days" - Sergei Ryabkov added. The Russian and the US presidents are expected to meet in Geneva, on 16th of June. 5 Russia. Dialogue with the NATO The Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, stated during a press conference after the negotiations with the Portuguese Foreign Minister that Russia is ready to resume the dialogue with the NATO. He added that Moscow expects a response to many of the proposals, "which have been under a consideration by the NATO for more than a year. The adoption of those proposals would significantly help to de-escalate the situation, which continues to get worse due to the constant movement of the NATO’s military infrastructure closer to the borders of Russia, and other reasons" - end of quote. 6 Russia. Disconnecting from the SWIFT The Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov commented on the proposals to disconnect Russia from the ’SWIFT’. According to him, the possibility of termination of this information exchange system in Russia can’t be ruled out. He explained that "the EU and the West have repeatedly proved in several cases that they are unreliable partners who can make unlawful decisions for no reasons at all". Earlier the EU High Representative for the Foreign and Security Policy, Josep Borel, stated that the ’SWIFT’ is an international private organization, and the EU can’t directly disconnect any country from it.
