The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation allocated 250 million rubles to the authorities of Tajikistan to combat drug trafficking

As part of the cooperation agreement concluded between the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs and the drug control agency under the President of Tajikistan, funds in the amount of 250 million rubles were provided to the Tajik side.

As the TASS with reference to the Russian embassy in Tajikistan, the agreement is designed for 2023-2025. On the Tajik side, the document was signed by the director of the agency, Khabibullo Vokhidzoda; on the Russian side, Interior Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev took part in signing the agreement remotely.

The agreement signing ceremony was attended by Russian Ambassador to the Central Asian republic Semyon Grigoriev, who discussed with Vokhidzoda the growing concern caused by the increase in drug smuggling from Afghanistan, in which Tajikistan plays a key role.

As noted at the Russian Embassy in Dushanbe, the signed agreement provides for an increase in the level of international interaction between departments and the allocation of more than 250 million rubles by Russia.

It was previously reported that the Taliban* group (a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation) that came to power in Afghanistan promised to fight drug smuggling. In 2022, the Taliban introduced a ban on the cultivation of opium poppy throughout the country, as well as the production and trafficking of any type of narcotic drugs.

However, despite the measures taken, the Russian Foreign Ministry notes that the Taliban* failed to succeed in the fight against drugs and during the first quarter of 2022, 14,5 times more Afghan drugs were seized in Tajikistan compared to the same period in 2021.

[Sebastian Aristarkhovich Pereira]

-The Ministry of Finance is asking where the 250 lyams are that we gave to the Tajiks....???
-Write that instead of poppies they planted forget-me-nots and are protecting these fields on new kruzaks!!!!

[Victor_B]

The main thing is that these straps do not bring drugs into Russia...

[astepanov]

May I live like this! On the one hand, Tajiks are paid for traffic, on the other hand, so that there is no traffic. So he runs into bread and butter. And when the time comes to answer, they will throw up their hands: “Nasalnik-ma, there is no one to guard the heroin, all the Tajiks in Russia lay curbs and sweep snow, they drive taxis and deliver Afghan heroin!”

[Tatyana]

Judging by the parasitic and condescending attitude of the Tajik authorities towards the Russian authorities, it is clear that RUSSIAN money in Tajikistan will be stolen, and the drug traffic from Tajikistan to Russia will only INCREASE!

[knn54]

I don’t know how it is now. But in the dashing 90s, Tajik border guards who distinguished themselves in catching drugs after demobilization were offered a contract in the Russian Federation. Because they were not residents at home...

[Svetlana]

In the nineties, only small ones were caught trying to guide the Afghan through the railway. And large wholesale flights were carried by military aircraft both to St. Petersburg and to Moscow. And no one inspected them

If. I think this money will be used to strengthen drug trafficking. What the hell anyway? Do we have extra money?

[igorbrsv]

Well, not that expensive. We can afford it. Three lemon bucks

[your vsr 66-67]

The Taliban have failed to succeed in the fight against drugs

And it won't work!
We need to “help” in the fight against drugs!

[Doccor18]

It seems like a small amount, but it is equivalent to the annual salary of four hundred precinct officers. But there aren't enough of them...

[Arnok]

Or they could buy drones for the soldiers in the Northern Military District.
Thermal imagers.
"Loaf" at least
The Tajiks will eat everything, ahem-ahem.

[KukuRuzvelt]

they buy seeds for everything and fertilizers

[EvilCommunist]

it’s the same as giving a drug treatment clinic 250 kg of cocaine to fight drug addiction

[vovochkarzhevsky]

Just for fighting, or for purchasing at a discount?

[Butunak]

Money in the sand. But what’s interesting is that the terrorist group Taliban, banned in the Russian Federation, banned the cultivation of opium poppy in Afghanistan, and there were even more drugs. This means drug trafficking will probably increase by these millions.

[Mordvin 3]

Quote: Butunak

Interestingly, the terrorist group Taliban, banned in the Russian Federation, banned the cultivation of opium poppy in Afghanistan, and there were even more drugs.

The Taliban prohibit others from growing poppies, since they have a monopoly on the cultivation of this very poppy. To support the pants.

[NightmareIvanych]

In Tajikistan, there seems to be a base; they could have been allocated money for equipment and other things.... The leadership has problems with their heads, and serious ones at that...

[Prisoner]

They have problems with their conscience, but the pots are boiling.

[APASUS]

It would be better if they installed new X-rays at the border and scanners at checkpoints and crossings. Drugs with moisture do not leak through the cordon

[igorbrsv]

There have already been so many proposals on where to spend these three lemons. And these three lemons are alone - you know, alone. There aren't enough for everyone

[VLAD-96]

Is this the same as allocating billions to fight corruption and embezzlement? Fight bees with honey!
Stalin would have allocated places in cemeteries for those caught and guilty! And they allocate money!

[Enceladus]

I just want to say that for the purchase
Congratulations to all, colleagues!

[antiaircrafter]

It would be better, of course, to allocate these funds to our biologists so that they could remove some pest that is devouring poppy crops.

[Enceladus]

What about buns with poppy seeds? I love them, but you want to deprive me of such pleasure, you villain!
And then this pest, intoxicated with poppy, will go and devour some other crops

[antiaircrafter]

Quote from Enceladus

What about buns with poppy seeds?

It's okay. Switch to hemp

[ZovSailor]

It won’t be enough, they’ll steal it, sir; went here and there
The border is large, I wanted to eat a little, I ran out of money.

[Enceladus]

Don't go there, go here! Otherwise the bomb hits your head and you’ll be completely dead!

[Prisoner]

How many houses will Tajik drug fighters build for their children?

[Rumata]

the Tajik side was provided with funds in the amount of 250 million rubles.

Money down the drain. It was necessary to simply redirect drug traffic towards the VFU, and the millions earned into UAVs for the Russian Armed Forces.

[maxim1987]

money for the country to destroy a state-forming enterprise? the late Zadornov is remembered

[rocket757]

The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation allocated 250 million rubles to the authorities of Tajikistan to combat drug trafficking

. The trouble is common, there is no escape from it, we just have to fight it together.

[dump22]

This money will be used to purchase drugs in Tajikistan - and thus they will not end up in Russia?

The Taliban* failed to succeed in the fight against drugs and during the first quarter of 2022, 14,5 times more Afghan drugs were seized in Tajikistan compared to the same period in 2021.

Growth of more than 14 times in a year?!
Yes, it would be better if they didn’t fight at all if their “fight” brings such results.

[former soldier]

to fight drug trafficking

Who will control spending? And how much will the traffic decrease?

[Ryaruav]

We will never know how and where this money will be spent, and is it difficult to allocate such funds for Russian children?

[Soldatov V.]

As I read, one of the best remedies against the drug heroin is infecting poppy plantations with a virus that kills the plant itself to the jelly stage from which heroin is made. They knew about this even in ancient times. So we can cultivate plantations from the air using long-range UAVs, quietly and unnoticed. Drugs, prostitution, weapons bring fabulous profits that allow you to bribe any government and any person.

[Fangaro]

250 million rubles. This is a small amount for the Russian budget.
What if 25 thousand rubles are given to police officers of the Russian Federation?
10 thousand Russian police officers who can receive additional payment for a high-quality fight against drug trafficking or 1 ministry of another state that does not fight drug trafficking.

[AdAstra]

This is a joke of humor, I haven’t laughed for so long in a long time, and my office neighbor is told by her boss that there is no money for a printer. "" "" "" ""

[Volunteer Marek]

Well, we can say quite definitely - “thrown into the abyss.”
And, which is typical, not a single comment with approval! And there are no angry ones either. This only says one thing - no one believes the authorities.

[Knell wardenheart]

A long time ago they would have bred a genetically modified parasite that eats this poppy and used UAVs to scatter the crops over the growing areas. Then Mother Nature will do her job.
