On Monday, The Wall Street Journal, citing its sources, revealed that Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley and Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Valery Gerasimov discussed the possibility of using Russian bases in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan by the Americans in order to counter terrorism, in particular, in Afghanistan. However, the American side has not received a definite answer.
