Taliban call for ‘peaceful means’ of resolution to Ukraine-Russia conflict

The Taliban government in Afghanistan has shared a statement about the Russian-Ukrainian crisis and calls for restraint by all parties. It also urges all stakeholders to resolve sustainable conflicts through “peace facilities”.

The Afghan Islamic Emirates greatly monitored the situation in Ukraine and expressed concern about the real possibility of civilian victims. The Islamic Emirates called for restraint by both parties. All parties need to stop taking a position that can intensify violence,” read a statement released by the Afghan Foreign Ministry.

A few months ago, Islamic militants had made a similar military attack and seized power in the Capital of Afghanistan Kabul. On August 15 last year, the Taliban had taken over the Afghan Presidential Palace when the elected government Ashraf Ghani fell after withdrawal of US troops after 20 years.

Meanwhile, at least 198 people have died and more than 1,000 have been injured in the latest conflict in Ukraine.

So far, on the third day of the invasion, Russian troops have won the city of Southeast Ukrainian Melitopol. In addition, Moscow has launched a coordinated and artillery cruising missile attack in several cities in neighboring countries, including the capital of Ukraine Kyiv.
