Afghanistan’s Taliban Government has called for calm in Ukraine as Russia continues their aggression in the nation, after Putin declared war last week

Afghanistan’s Taliban has called on Russia and Ukraine to ‘resolve the crisis through peaceful means’ amid escalating aggression in the region.

The Taliban’s message comes months after massacring innocent people as the group, which had been for years fought by the American military, took over Afghanistan following the US withdrawal from the region.

In a statement posted to the Taliban’s official Twitter account, which now goes by the name of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, the militant group said it was concerned ‘about real possibility of civilian casualties.’

The Taliban called for dialogue to be held between Russia and Ukraine

Under the seal of the Emirate’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs – that closely resembles the seals used by US government departments – the Taliban called for dialogue to be held between Russia and Ukraine and to safeguard Afghans in Ukraine.

The Taliban, as the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, has yet to be recognised by any country as Afghanistan’s new government since its brutal takeover in August.
