This was reported by the Interfax news agency.
According to reports, the agreement was signed within the framework of the International Security Forum being held in the Moscow region. The document was confirmed after a meeting between Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu and Taliban Defense Minister Muhammad Yaqub.
However, the parties have not yet disclosed the details of the signed agreement.
During the meeting, Muhammad Yaqub noted that relations between Moscow and Kabul are expanding. Sergei Shoigu, in turn, called on Western states to unfreeze Afghanistan's assets and finance the country's reconstruction.
The publication "Important Stories" notes that such agreements typically involve the exchange of weapons, military technologies, and licenses.
Orientalist Ruslan Suleymanov assessed this agreement more as a "symbolic step." In his opinion, the likelihood of a serious military alliance forming between Russia and the Taliban in the near future is low.
"Russia has almost nothing to offer the Taliban. The main economic partners for Kabul are China, Iran, and Pakistan," Suleymanov told The Insider.
He added that Russia could potentially send military specialists to Afghanistan or conduct local exercises.
