MOSCOW (TASS): Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov has confirmed that contacts on Afghanistan are being prepared in Moscow, referring questions about further details to the Russian Foreign Ministry.
“The Foreign Ministry is working on this issue, this is where these questions belong,” the Kremlin spokesman said on Thursday, commenting on the upcoming contacts with the Taliban.
“The consultations on Afghanistan are currently under preparation,” Peskov noted.
Earlier, Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova announced that Russia was expecting a representative delegation of the Taliban to take part in the third Moscow format consultations on Afghanistan.
