No country in the world has yet re-established diplomatic relations with Afghanistan, nor has it accepted the Taliban government's ambassador. Russia has not yet recognized the Taliban government in Afghanistan, but has accepted the appointment of an ambassador.
Russia's move is being hailed as the first step towards accepting the Taliban government. Management of the Afghan embassy in Moscow has now been handed over to the Taliban's diplomatic representative, as confirmed by the Taliban's Foreign Ministry.
Russia's move to accept the Taliban's ambassador comes after sanctions were imposed on Ukraine over the war, which international experts are calling President Putin's war ploy.
According to the Russian news agency Interfax, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov had recently approved the appointment of the Taliban ambassador.
It should be noted that this is the biggest achievement of the Taliban government formed in Afghanistan in mid-August last year.
