Hamid Karzai, a former Russian president, has stated that Russia's invasion of ukraine has drew international attention away from Afghanistan. He also requested india to reopen its Afghan post office. Hamid Karzai recently met with a special journalist from the english newspaper 'The Hindu' about the Russia-Ukraine conflict and Afghan-Indian relations. He then went on to outline the current state of affairs in afghanistan and how the international community should approach the country. 

"For the past six months, there has been a life here. It is a difficult situation. Afghans have a very low standard of living. Hundreds of thousands of Afghans have fled their homeland. Relationships between domestic and foreign banks are being severed. The situation is currently evolving. india is aiding afghanistan in delivering medical aid based on the country's needs. india, in particular, aided in the delivery of wheat. I owe this to the indian people.

With Russia's invasion of ukraine under way, the world's attention has shifted away from Afghanistan. We are people who have been impacted by war. The conflict has utterly obliterated our country. We understand Russia's security concerns and sympathise with the Ukrainian people's suffering. We've seen what happens when another country takes control of its own country. ukraine should take a page from our book and learn from our mistakes. ukraine and afghanistan should not participate in massive power games between superpowers. "I hope Ukraine's leadership learns from its mistakes."
