businessinsider.com: Taliban officials are on the verge of signing a contract for Afghanistan to purchase gasoline and benzene from Russia, Afghan authorities told Reuters.
Per the outlet, which published its report on Monday, Afghan officials said that a Taliban delegation was in the final stages of talks in Moscow for the terms of the contract.
Reuters cited a spokesperson from Afghanistan's ministry of economy, Habiburahman Habib, who confirmed that the officials were negotiating contracts for wheat, gas, and oil.
The delegation is also deliberating on how Afghanistan would transfer its funds for Russia's supplies due to sanctions imposed on most of the banks from either nation, said Nooruddin Azizi, Afghanistan's acting commerce minister, according to local outlet TOLO News.
