Russia has officially recognized the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. This was reported by TASS, citing the Russian Foreign Ministry.

On July 1, the new Afghan Ambassador to Russia Gul Khasan arrived in Moscow, and on July 3, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Rudenko accepted copies of his credentials.
On April 17, the Supreme Court of Russia granted the administrative claim of the Prosecutor General to suspend the ban on the activities of the Taliban movement in the Russian Federation.
