Russia set to remove Taliban from terrorist organizations list

Russia is set to remove the Taliban from its list of terrorist organizations. A decision already made at the highest level, reports TASS, citing Zamir Kabulov, the Russian President’s Special Envoy for Afghanistan. According to Kabulov, only formalities remain to be completed.

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, together with the FSB and several other Russian agencies, is finalizing the legal work to exclude the Taliban from Russia’s list of terrorist organizations. It’s not about desire; the principle decision on this matter has been made by Russia’s top leadership. However, all processes need to be completed within the framework of Russian law.”

Earlier in April, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs mentioned efforts to remove the terrorist status of the Taliban, a group banned in Russia. In December, Kazakhstan’s authorities took the Taliban off their list of banned organizations.

Having the status of a terrorist organization has not hindered Moscow from cooperating with the Taliban. The Russian embassy in Kabul continued its operations after the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan in 2021, and representatives of the group frequently visit Russia.

In May, a journalist in Moscow, Nadezhda Kevorkova, was arrested on charges related to the justification of terrorism. One of the counts she faces is linked to justifying the activities of the Taliban.

    • And the biggest laugh was from where they got the weapons!

      Now moskovia will openly and ‘Officially’ sell them weapons to fund the moskali war effort.

      The peado midget will probably order the goat fuckers to ramp up the terrorism against the ‘west’ to divert resources away from Ukraine, like the cunt did with the durka durka goat fuckers against Israel.

      • I’m glad we are out and NATO is out of Afghanistan, I just wish we would have also pulled our weapons, armor and planes out too, then dropped them off in Kyiv….
        It really says something about Bidenov that he armed the Taliban better than Ukraine.

          When I see people post stuff like this, I keep asking the same questions, and in response I get… crickets!

          We supplied the Afghan army with a bunch of stuff. When the Afghans surrendered their outposts and bases, they left all that equipment for the Taliban to plunder. The Taliban certainly wouldn’t have given that up willingly. So:

          How many troops would you have sent in to retrieve it?
          How many American lives should we have expended?

          “It really says something about Biden”

          Let’s not forget some Afghanistan withdrawal facts:

          trumpkov not Biden: Negotiated directly with the Taliban terrorists and excluded the Afghan army.

          trumpkov not Biden: Drew down US forces from 13,000 to 2,500, making them vulnerable to attack.

          trumpkov not Biden: Ordered the release of 5,000 Taliban fighters from prison, one of whom would become the new leader of Afghanistan.

          trumpkov not Biden: Wanted to invite the Taliban leaders to Camp David on the anniversary of September 11th. Seriously.

          trumpkov not Biden: Agreed to a May 1st exit from Afghanistan, then bragged that he didn’t need an exit strategy.

          trumpkov not Biden: Refused to brief Biden’s incoming team on the situation in Afghanistan.

          trumpkov not Biden: Shut down every airbase in Afghanistan except one, crippling the US’s ability to extract its assets safely.
