The Taliban has called on Russia and Ukraine to ‘resolve the crisis through peaceful means’ months after massacring innocent people as they took over Afghanistan, The Daily Mail reports.
In a statement posted to the Taliban’s official Twitter account, which now goes by the name of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, the militant group said it was concerned ‘about real possibility of civilian casualties.’
Under the seal of the Emirate’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs – that closely resembles the seals used by US government departments – the Taliban called for dialogue to be held between Russia and Ukraine and to safeguard Afghans in Ukraine.

The Taliban, as the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, has yet to be recognized by any country as Afghanistan’s new government since its brutal takeover in August.
Its foreign ministry posted its ‘Statement concerning crisis in Ukraine’ on Friday morning, and was shared on Twitter by key Taliban figures.
‘The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is closely monitoring the situation in Ukraine and expresses concern about real possibility of civilian casualties,’ the statement said. ‘The Islamic Emirate calls for restraint by both parties. All sides need to desist from taking positions that could intensify violence.’
According to estimates, over 1,000 civilians were killed and over 2,000 injured when the Taliban launched their offensive to capture Afghanistan last year. The Daily Mail

The Talibans are mocking like commenters here do.
I wholly agree. Both sides have to tone down the inflammatory rhetoric. Both sides have to sit down and meet over coffee and cake in a local cafe. Russia must give away strategic land to the Ukrainians.
