Vladimir Putin says he’s not allowing Afghan refugees into Russia (NY Post)

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Sunday his country won’t accept Afghan refugees because he doesn’t want to deal with “militants” masquerading as asylum-seekers.

The Russian strongman slammed Western nations for placing Afghan refugees in countries even near his border while their US and European visas are being processed.

“Does that mean that they can be sent without visas to those countries, to our neighbors, while they themselves don’t want to take them without visas?” Putin raged to the Russian TASS news agency. “Why is there such a humiliating approach to solving the problem?’

...

Just a bit of posturing from the RW's favorite foreigner.

1. Lucky refugees, is all I can say. Hopefully North Korea won't want them, either. nt

2. Why does he think any of the refugees would want to go to Russia

I would bet they will be in bed soon with the Taliban, even though they fought against them for years.
