MOSCOW — The Russian Foreign Ministry is considering the removal of the Taliban movement from its list of terrorist organizations, TASS reported.
The ministry, along with the Ministry of Justice and other agencies, is reviewing the Taliban’s status.
“The final decision will rest with the country’s top political leadership,” the Foreign Ministry stated.
