Moscow. August 23. INTERFAX-Russia does not intend to interfere in the events that are taking place in Afghanistan, said the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov.

"Today, at the next meeting of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), this line of events was mentioned in the context that it is potentially fraught with another civil war in Afghanistan and carries additional danger and threats. Of course, no one is going to interfere in these events," Peskov told reporters on Monday.

This is how he answered the question whether there are any plans for Russia to interfere in the events in Afghanistan, in particular, to help the leader of the resistance in Panjshir province, Ahmad Masood.

Answering a clarifying question whether Russia can provide diplomatic mediation efforts to resolve the situation in Afghanistan, Peskov said: "This is not the question."

The day before, the Taliban movement (recognized as a terrorist and banned in the Russian Federation) announced that several hundred of its fighters had moved to the Panjshir province to take control of it, Al-Jazeera reported.

The Taliban explained in social networks that they made such a decision because " the local authorities refused to peacefully transfer control."

Panjshir is one of the last territories of Afghanistan where the Taliban's authority is not recognized (it is prohibited in the Russian Federation).

It is there that the Taliban resistance movement is based.

Earlier it was reported that the leader of the movement, Ahmad Masoud, in an interview with the Al-Sharq al-Awsat newspaper, said that he was ready for negotiations and "to defend himself to the last".

"We are ready to participate in an inclusive government with the Taliban... However, the formation of a government aimed at extremism is unacceptable: this would be a threat to Afghanistan, the region and the whole world," he added.

The BBC notes that according to a representative of the movement, it currently has 9 thousand fighters.
