MOSCOW, January 29 (Itar-Tass) -- Russia does not intend to provide
help for NATO in Afghanistan on the gratis basis, Russia's envoy to the
alliance Dmitry Rogozin stated.

"We will not supply anything to NATO gratis," he said in the
Moscow-Brussels television link.
There are some wealthy ones who are ready to pay, and let them pay.
"It is their operation. We do not fight there, we only assist," Rogozin
noted.
