militants of the “Islamic State” terrorist organization “” Banned in Russia can take advantage of northern Afghanistan. This was stated by Special Representative of the Russian President for Afghanistan, Zamir Kabulov.
At the same time, an offensive by members of the radical Taliban movement banned in Russia in northern Afghanistan is “bleeding” the IS and depriving the militants of the base for sabotage against Central Asian countries
According to him, the Taliban hates ISIS and does not even accept prisoners. When government forces controlled the north, they did not fight the IS, and the militants “felt great there.”
The Taliban's actions alone, namely the confiscation of important areas in the country, do not mean that one should panic. According to him, it is unlikely that the government authorities in Kabul will be overthrown.
Moscow is communicating with the Taliban due to the need to tell them its position on the situation in the region. According to him, the Russian Federation warned a few years ago that the situation in the republic would worsen in the middle of the retreat of American troops.
