“The new reality that was established in Afghanistan after August 15 did not bring either the Afghans themselves or the international community closer to stabilizing the country, creating on its territory a peaceful, indivisible and free from drugs and crime state,” TASS quoted him as saying during the UN Security Council meeting.

Nebenzya clarified that new challenges have been added to the old problems in Afghanistan, which are associated with the lack of international recognition of the Taliban.

Earlier, the Russian permanent representative said that at present there is a possibility of the spread of terrorism and drugs in the countries neighboring Afghanistan.

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