'Choose Friendship’: Kabul’s First Reaction As Russia Becomes First To Recognize Taliban Government

In a historic and controversial move, Russia has become the first nation to officially recognise the Taliban government in Afghanistan. The announcement was met with cautious optimism on the streets of Kabul, where many Afghans are now urging neighboring powers like Iran, Pakistan, and India to “choose friendship” over continued conflict. Locals say the recognition brings hope for stability, economic revival, and an end to international isolation. “War brings only destruction. We want peace and cooperation,” said Ahmad Zia Popal, a Kabul resident. The Taliban, still sanctioned by the West and condemned for its human rights record—especially on women’s rights—called Russia’s decision “courageous” and a model for others. While global criticism looms, many ordinary Afghans see this as a turning point. Moscow’s move also raises geopolitical questions as it deepens its footprint in the region amid growing tensions with the West. #RussiaTaliban #TalibanRecognition #AfghanistanNews #KabulVoices #PutinTaliban #RussiaAfghanistanTies #Geopolitics #TalibanRule #AfghanPeople #RegionalPeace #IndiaPakistanAfghanistan #AfghanPeace #MiddleEastNews #IranTaliban #RussiaInAsia #GlobalDiplomacy #FriendshipNotWar #AfghanistanFuture #WorldNews #TalibanGovernment ~HT.318~ED.102~PR.152~
