Moscow [Russia], December 17 (ANI): Russian Special Presidential Representative for Afghanistan Zamir Kabulov has said that hundreds of thousands of Afghans will try to flee to Europe this winter if large-scale economic and humanitarian crises cannot be prevented, reported Sputnik.

"The West is afraid of migration flows. And we tell them -- as a result of your policy, as a result of the obstacles that you invented when even the UN structures cannot send money, in the end, you can get a situation, when at least about a tenth of Afghanistan's 23 million population flees to Europe this winter," Sputnik quoted Kabulov as saying.
