MOSCOW (Reuters) -President Vladimir Putin on Sunday rejected the idea of sending people evacuation from Afghanistan to countries near Russia, saying he did not want "militants showing up here under cover of refugees", Russian news agencies reported.
Putin criticized an idea of some Western countries to relocate refugees from Afghanistan to neighbouring Central Asian countries while their visas to the United States and Europe are being processed.
"Does that mean that they can be sent without visas to those countries, to our neighbours, while they themselves (the West) don't want to take them without visas?" TASS news agency quoted Putin as telling leaders of the ruling United Russia party.
"Why is there such a humiliating approach to solving the problem?" he said.
The United States held secret talks with a number of countries in a desperate attempt to secure deals to temporarily house at-risk Afghans who worked for the U.S. government, Reuters reported last week.

Vlad is a better and more rational head of state than Joe.
That’s setting a VERY low bar, but I totally agree.
126,000,000 refugees have fled Afghanistan? No friggin’ way.
Good point; I didn’t mean to insult Vlad.
Don’t get me wrong... Vlad is not a nice guy. However he’s for Russia first and he has my respect for that, generally speaking.
Oh, hey no prob vlad. Wisconsin, Georgia all set up.
Yes, Putin commands respect.
Biden commands comedy.
For every 50,000 “refugees”, we get 5,000 committed Islamo Nazi terrorists for free.
Serious people get serious leaders. We, on the other hand...
it would be nice to have a leader that didn’t have Mitt for brains...
I helped Jill change my own diaper this morning!
Smart guy ...
Smart guy ...
Maybe he can offer to Joe to help get US citizens out. That would be ironic.

Why not, Puts? Just think of what you can do to them once you get them in the country.
The next time the FBI organizes a mass shooting, at least they’ll have lone wolf islamo fascists to blame.
