  • The Russian authorities continue to establish a legal framework to remove the Taliban and HTS from the list of banned terrorist organizations. The decisions serve several purposes, reports the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW).

The article from MSN, citing the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), discusses Russia's efforts to remove the Taliban and Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) from its list of terrorist organizations. This move is part of Russia's broader strategy to normalize relations with these groups, particularly in light of the ongoing geopolitical shifts and the need for regional stability. The ISW report suggests that Russia's initiative could be aimed at facilitating dialogue and cooperation, especially with the Taliban, which has been gaining international recognition since taking control of Afghanistan. However, this decision has raised concerns among Western countries about the implications for global security and counter-terrorism efforts. The article also touches on the potential motivations behind Russia's policy, including economic interests and the desire to counterbalance Western influence in Central Asia.
