Miller noted that GRU may be involved in the scandal around the “Russia’s collusion with the Taliban” (banned in Russia as a terrorist organization), as has already been repeatedly involved in political scandals. However, this time, if the operation of the Russian intelligence was indeed, it contradicts the position of the Kremlin.
