“We will have to build relationships with this new situation and the new government in Afghanistan,” Kabulov said.

He also called the fact that the Taliban movement came to power * as a new "reality of life".

In his opinion, Russia has been in contact with representatives of the movement for eight years, so it was “relatively comfortable” with the changes in Afghanistan.

Earlier, Kabulov said that many NATO countries, in particular the military leadership and the US intelligence community, are tempted to return to Afghanistan.

* "Taliban" - the organization was recognized as terrorist by the decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of February 14, 2003.
