Russia and the Taliban are establishing cooperation in the fight against terrorism

Earlier, on April 17, the Supreme Court of Russia suspended the ban and excluded the Afghan Taliban movement from the list of terrorist organizations.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on November 27, 2024, that without removing the status of terrorists from the Taliban, it is impossible to develop cooperation with Afghanistan in practice. In June of the same year, Russian President Vladimir Putin noted that stability in Afghanistan was very important both for the Russian Federation and for other countries in the region, so it was necessary to build relations with the Taliban government.
