The Russian Prosecutor General's Office has petitioned the Supreme Court to suspend the ban on the Taliban, which has been in place since 2003. This request aligns with Russia's evolving relationship with the Taliban, particularly since the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021. President Putin has characterized the Taliban as a combatant ally against terrorism. The Supreme Court's decision, expected in April, is pivotal as it may not formally recognize the Taliban government but reflects changing dynamics of international relations, particularly in light of the recent attacks by IS-K.
