Russian Embassy in Kabul
Let us tell you that Russia is one of the few countries that still has an embassy in Kabul. Most countries have closed their embassies in Afghanistan after the Taliban took over. The Taliban has not been officially recognized by Russia. Talks are going on between the two countries for the supply of essential services.
