KABUL - Russia's Ambassador to Kabul has said that Moscow has received an official "defense wishlist" from Kabul for light and heavy weapons and that his country will assess the list.

Military helicopters and artillery are included in the wish list submitted by Kabul to Moscow.

The Afghan Defense Ministry says Afghanistan is in the first line of war and that all world countries should help this country.

"Afghanistan is in the first line of war against terrorism and this war is not Afghanistan's war; it has been imposed on the country. All the neighboring countries and the world countries should help Afghanistan in this war," the Defense Ministry spokesman Dawlat Waziri told TOLOnews.

Meanwhile, analysts believe that Afghanistan needs military support from world countries in such a situation but they state that Kabul needs to get NATO member countries to agree on military support from other countries.

"I think Russia can rapidly help Afghan army in such a situation and it can make it a strong army in order to combat terrorism," said Jawed Kohistani, a military affairs analyst.

"But it is important that Kabul should get NATO member countries and the U.S to agree if it wants military help for equipment for its forces from any other country," he added. (Tolonews)
