Nebenzya did not rule out the spread of terrorism in Afghanistan's neighboring countries

“Today there is a real threat of an overflow of terrorist and drug activity, including those masquerading as migration flows, into the territory of neighboring countries,” RIA Novosti quotes his statement at a meeting of the UN Security Council.

Nebenzi said Russia expects the Taliban * to continue to deliver on "promises to eradicate these challenges."

Earlier, the head of the UN mission in Afghanistan, Deborah Lyons, at a meeting of the Security Council said that the members of the Taliban in power in Afghanistan cannot successfully resist the spread of the Islamic State ** in the country.

* "Taliban" - the organization is under UN sanctions for terrorist activities.

** "Islamic State" (IS, ISIS) - the organization was recognized as terrorist by the decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of December 29, 2014.
