MOSCOW. Sept 2 (Interfax) - Record quantities of Afghan heroin have been impounded in Russia this year, Federal Drug Control Service (FSKN) Director Viktor Ivanov said.
"Concerning drug production in Afghanistan, 2.5 tonnes of heroin has been seized since the beginning of this year. In fact, we have seized record quantities of heroin this year," Ivanov told a press conference on Tuesday.
He said it was necessary to aim at the liquidation of drug production in Afghanistan.
"However, the task of eliminating drug production in Afghanistan has not been set anywhere, either at the Security Council or at the UN," the FSKN chief added.
