The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has stated that the issue of removing the Taliban from its list of designated terrorist organizations is currently under consideration. This decision involves deliberations among various governmental bodies, including the Foreign Ministry and the Ministry of Justice, with the final decision to be made by the highest political leadership of Russia, TASS informs on April 1.
Taliban is currently designated as a terrorist organization by Russia. However, the decision to include them in the KazanForum suggests a potential shift in Russia's diplomatic approach towards the group.
The decision-making process involves a thorough evaluation by relevant governmental agencies, with the final determination to be made by Russia's top political leadership.
Earlier Daryo reported that the United States is pushing to remove the Taliban from the list of designated terrorist groups, a move that has raised concerns voiced by Michael McCaul, Chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Relations Committee. McCaul criticized the Biden administration's approach during a discussion on Afghanistan, highlighting a perceived worsening of Taliban actions. He also criticized the administration for lacking clear plans for Afghanistan after 20 years of engagement, while underscoring the Taliban's restrictive policies, such as limiting women's mobility and denying education to girls.
