LVIV – Members of the Ukrainian military stationed at the airport in the Afghan capital of Kabul conducted a bold operation in the early morning hours of August 27 to evacuate Afghani translators working with the Canadian army and a Canadian newspaper.
The operation to rescue the translators took place a day after the last Canadian plane took off from Afghanistan and hours after a terrorist attack took place at the gates of Hamid Karzai International Airport. After the attack, the United States said it would allow only foreign nationals to enter the airport, but not Afghans with visas.
