Russia returns to Afghanistan, on request http://www.hindu.com/2008/06/26/stories/2008062655351000.htm

Grim realities in Afghanistan will tie NATO to Russia and its allies in the region, both for supply lines and for wide-ranging military and economic cooperation.

Two decades after it pulled out of Afghanistan, Russia is returning - at the request of the United States and the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation. Moscow will allow land shipment of NATO supplies to Afghanistan across the Russian territory and will supply weapons to the Afghan army. http://www.hindu.com/2008/06/26/stories/2008062655351000.htm
