While testifying today in front of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Gen. Alexus G. Grynkewich, the Commander of the U.S. European Command and Supreme Allied Commander Europe, said: “What I've observed over the course of studying air power in history is that anytime you attack a civilian population, you usually end up finding that it just hardens their resolve. We take this all the way back to the London Blitz in World War II. The Brits just had a stiff upper lip and kept on fighting. And I think that's what we've seen in Ukraine as well.”

As contacts with the Taliban intensify, more states could follow in Moscow’s footsteps, among them China. Some, like Uzbekistan, have already hinted that recognition of the Taliban government was “inevitable”.

“Although it has been critical of the presence of transnational jihadist groups in Afghanistan, Moscow has found a willing partner in the Taliban.”
@Afghan_Policy explains Russia’s move to recognise the Taliban as the rightful Afghan government.

A rigorously argued timely analysis by @Afghan_Policy that situates Russia’s recognition of the Taliban within broader regional dynamics. An essential contribution to understanding evolving diplomatic and security paradigms.
