The Russian Foreign Ministry says the official recognition of the Afghan government will foster "productive bilateral cooperation".

In short:

Russia has become the first country to formally recognise the Taliban’s government in Afghanistan since it seized power in 2021.

Afghanistan’s Foreign Ministry called Russia’s official recognition a historic step.

The Taliban has sought international recognition while also enforcing its strict interpretation of Islamic law.
