Russia has officially removed the Taliban from its list of designated terrorist organizations. This decision, announced in March 2024, now allows the Taliban to legally operate within Russian territory — a move with potentially far-reaching geopolitical consequences.
This change has raised global concerns, with analysts speculating about the possibility of future military cooperation between Russia, the Taliban, and North Korea. As the war in Ukraine continues, some fear that Taliban fighters could soon be deployed alongside Russian and North Korean soldiers in key conflict zones like Sumy and Donetsk.
While there’s currently no confirmed evidence of such an alliance on the battlefield, the situation remains tense. Military experts warn that any collaboration between these forces would escalate the conflict in Ukraine and complicate international relations.
