Is Russia’s Recognition Signal to Others?

In the Paradigma.uz studio, Dr. Islomkhon Gafarov analyzed the event that is to cause a sharp turn in international politics. In an interview, the political scientist commented on the geopolitical goals behind Russia's official recognition of the Taliban, the possible reaction of the US, and further actions in the region.

 

According to him, this move is seen as an attempt by Russia to strengthen its influence in Afghanistan and keep regional security under its control. Whose move is it now? That now depends on the position of the countries of Central Asia and China.
