MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The situation in Afghanistan has significantly deteriorated in recent months. the country is suffering from the activity of the Taliban, a militant group formed in the 1990s, seeking to establish Sharia law in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and from other terrorist groups including the Daesh, banned in Russia and many other countries.
