Russia's lower house passes bill to potentially delist the Taliban from terrorist organizations.

The Russian State Duma has approved the first reading of a bill that could remove the Taliban from its list of terrorist organizations, allowing courts to temporarily suspend such designations. This move aims to facilitate Russia's engagement with the Taliban to stabilize Afghanistan, despite the group being designated as terrorists in Russia since 2003. The bill requires further approval from the upper house and President Putin.
