“As for the collapse of the Afghan regime, it is most aptly described by Ghani’s escape from Afghanistan,” RIA Novosti was quoted as saying by Nikita Ishchenko, the press secretary of the Russian embassy in Kabul.

The country on the Arabian Peninsula has denied the information, but the source has dismissed it as a natural “natural response.” Independently of the Russian agency, the India Today server also wrote that Ghani is in Oman, from where it will probably head to the USA.

While Western states, led by the United States, are rapidly evacuating their diplomatic staff from Kabul, Russia’s ambassador to Afghanistan Dmitry Zhirnov praised the protection of the Russian embassy on a large section of Taliban fighters on Rossiya 24 television today.

“We are now protected by the Taliban, a large division. They made a very good impression on us, adequate men, well-armed, stood around the outer perimeter of the embassy so that no one could penetrate us – no terrorist, no madman, “said Žirnov.

At the same time, the Afghan radical Taliban movement, which has recently regained control of the country after 20 years, is banned in Russia as a terrorist organization.

On Monday, Zirnov also specified that the diplomatic mission in the country continues to work, but some employees of the embassy will be evacuated, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Over the weekend, Moscow claimed that it did not yet consider an evacuation necessary.
