Russia's ambassador to Afghanistan Dmitry Zhirnov has praised the Taliban's conduct calling their approach "good, positive and business-like" , adding that the Taliban had made Kabul safer in the first 24 hours than it had been under the previous authorities.

Zhirnov was quoted by Reuters as saying that the situation in Kabul is peaceful and good and things are starting to calm down.

Ghani fled on Sunday as the Taliban seized control of Afghanistan in a matter of days, stunning countries across the world.
