"Of course, we are concerned over the exacerbation of the intra-Afghan conflict and its negative impact on the neighboring states in Central Asia, therefore, we are in constant contact with our Uzbek colleagues.

We are ready to provide additional help to our friends if such a need arises and if there is an appropriate appeal from the Uzbek leadership," Rudenko explained.
