Russia signs a new military-technical cooperation agreement with the Taliban, according to reports from Moscow and European outlets. The deal is signed during a security forum in the Moscow region, with Russia and Taliban representatives formalizing a military partnership that further expands Moscow’s contacts with Kabul. While all sources describe the agreement as deepening Russia’s relationship with the Taliban, they also note that key details are not publicly disclosed. The Moscow Times characterizes the agreement as potentially having limited immediate impact, describing it as largely symbolic in how it formalizes ties. Kyiv Post and Politico Europe similarly say the contents of the agreement are unclear, citing the absence of an official breakdown of its provisions. Kyiv Post adds context that the signing follows Russia’s suspension of the Taliban’s terrorist designation in 2025. Across the accounts, the agreement is presented as a formal step in Russia–Taliban cooperation, but the specific scope, terms, and operational implications are not made public in the available reporting.
