Russian Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev revoked the decree that previously enabled NATO to send military equipment to Afghanistan through Russian territory, Russian media reports.

According to an official document published on Monday, all previous decisions that prescribed the means by which the weapons of the Alliance can reach Afghanistan through the territory of Russia have been revoked and put out of effect.

The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued an order to inform all countries affected by this decision.

NATO was able to transfer weapons to Afghanistan through the land and air of Russia by a decision made by the United Nations Security Council in 2001, and confirmed by the signing of a new agreement seven years later.

Last year, Washington announced that the military action in Afghanistan was over, most of the American army had left that country, but then a decision was made that around 13.000 soldiers of the international forces would remain in Afghanistan until 2016.
