"We are still negotiating, and everything is still very preliminary, but we are discussing with the Taliban the conduct of humanitarian operations, as well as the possibility of protecting and removing those Afghans who are in danger," TASS quoted Macron as saying.

He noted that France is also working with Qatar to carry out these operations.

“Yes, we are working with Qatar, among others, to carry out these operations.

Because Qatar, in the context of their engagement with the Taliban, has the ability to organize an air bridge open to some airlines in a security environment that remains to be determined.

But each time we will have to negotiate with the Taliban in a changing environment, ”he said.

Earlier, the head of the French Ministry of Defense, Florence Parley, announced the completion of the operation to evacuate citizens from Afghanistan.

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