Several Democrats are urging President Joe Biden not to follow through on plans to use Russian bases to launch drone strikes on Afghanistan.

Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed the idea during a recent discussion with Biden, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told members of Congress this week. Gen. Mark Milley, the president’s top military adviser, confirmed Wednesday during another hearing that he spoke later with his counterpart to explore the idea.
