"We are encouraging the new Afghan authorities to form a politically balanced government, we are encouraging them to intensify their actions to counter the terrorist threat, we are, certainly, paying more attention to ensuring human rights. If there is progress in these areas, then a situation may arise that will lead to the exclusion of the Taliban movement from the UN Security Council sanctions list, so this will be the basis for the official recognition of the new government in Afghanistan," Ushakov told reporters.

According to a Kremlin aide, Moscow is in constant contact with the Taliban leadership to encourage the new Afghan authorities to meet the conditions.
