Afghanistan intends to purchase a million barrels of Russian oil. Nuriddin Azizi, the country's Minister of Industry and Trade, declared this on August 15.

“We offered Russia about one million barrels, if it can send more, then this is not a problem,” Azizi was quoted by RIA NEWS.

“The most important thing for us would be the oil and gas project. We would also like to consider the option of barter trade, provided that the Russian Federation needs some kind of Afghan products,” the minister added.

On the eve, it was rumored that a Taliban delegation is heading to Moscow and Kazan. Dmitry Zhirnov, Russia's Ambassador to Kabul, stated that the Afghan group comprises economists and financiers, and the visitors intend to acquire oil, other fuels, wheat, bread, and sunflower oil.

Earlier on June 27, during a meeting with Tajik leader Emomali Rahmon, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Russia is doing all possible to normalize the situation in Afghanistan. He stated that Moscow is attempting to establish relations with the political forces in charge of the issue.
