**Moscow, Russia** – Russia announced Wednesday it will allow the Taliban to appoint an ambassador to Moscow. This symbolic gesture comes just days after Russia removed the Taliban from its list of terrorist organizations. The move signals a further strengthening of ties between the two nations, despite international concerns about the Taliban’s human rights record and governance in Afghanistan. The appointment of an ambassador represents a significant step towards normalizing diplomatic relations and potentially increasing cooperation between Russia and the Taliban-led Afghan government.
