Russia has praised the Taliban’s conduct describing their approach as “good, positive and business-like” since taking over Afghanistan.
Russia’s ambassador to Afghanistan Dmitry Zhirnov also said that Taliban made Kabul safer in the first 24 hours than it had been under the previous authorities. “The situation is peaceful and good and everything has calmed down in the city. The situation in Kabul now under the Taliban is better than it was under (President) Ashraf Ghani,” Zhirnov said while speaking to Moscow’s Ekho Moskvy radio station, according to Reuters.
Zhirnov also claimed that the schools in Kabul, including those for girls, had started functioning again.
