Russia Lifts Terror Group Designation on Afghanistan's Ruling Taliban After More Than 20 Years

Russia's Supreme Court has lifted its ban on Afghanistan's ruling Taliban, which was designated as a terrorist organization over 20 years ago after seizing power in Afghanistan. The move comes as the Taliban continues to face international scrutiny and pressure following its return to power. The lifting of the designation is seen as a significant shift in Russia's stance towards the group. The decision may have implications for diplomatic relations between Russia and Western countries.
