Russia has allegedly been offering Taliban militants in Afghanistan cash rewards to kill U.S. soldiers in an effort aimed at destabilizing the war-torn country. According to a New York Times report, agents affiliated with Russia’s GRU military intelligence rewarded insurgents with cash if they succeeded in killing U.S. or British soldiers. The program was headed by GRU unit 29155, a highly secretive outfit tasked with special operations beyond Russia’s borders believed to be behind the 2018 poisoning of double agent Sergei Skripal in England. The bounties aimed to increase the violence and scuttle negotiations between the Taliban and the U.S., which eventually turned into a formal peace agreement between the two sides. U.S. intelligence got wind of Russia’s activities from interrogating captured militants. The report stressed that it remains unclear when the cash rewards began and if President Vladimir Putin was aware of the GRU’s activities. Both the Taliban and the Russian Embassy deny the allegations. President Donald Trump was briefed on the developments, and the National Security Council (NSC) held a meeting on the issue in midMarch. During the meeting, NSC officials drafted different possible responses ranging from a retaliatory cyber-attack to a formal diplomatic complaint, but the White House refrained from deciding on any of the options. While not denying the veracity of the report, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany insist-
ed that both President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence had not been briefed “on the alleged Russian bounty intelligence.” “The United States receives thousands of intelligence reports a day, and they are subject to strict scrutiny,” added McEnany. “While the White House does not routinely comment on alleged intelligence or internal deliberations, the CIA Director, National Security Advisor, and the Chief of Staff can all confirm that neither the president nor the vice president were briefed on the alleged Russian bounty intelligence.” McEnany’s account was confirmed by Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, who said in a statement that “neither the President nor the Vice President were ever briefed on any intelligence alleged by The New York Times in its reporting yesterday.”
India Bans TikTok
Noting that they pose a “threat to sovereignty and integrity,” India is banning TikTok and other Chinese apps. India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology said in a statement on Monday that it had received many complaints about misuse and transmission of user data by some mobile apps to servers outside India. “The compilation of these data, its mining and profiling by elements hostile to national security and defense of India, which ultimately impinges upon the sovereignty and integrity of India, is a matter of very deep and immediate concern which requires emergency measures,” the ministry said, listing 59 apps including many prominent Chinese ones that will be subject to the ban. While the Indian government’s statement did not mention China by name, the ban comes as military tensions between the two countries continue to escalate following deadly border clashes earlier this month that
