MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russia has allowed around 1,000 Afghans to enter the country from Afghanistan after its rapid takeover by the Taliban, RIA news agency reported, citing a Moscow-based organization of Afghani expatriates.
Among those who received permission to travel are holders of Russian passports or those with permanent residence rights and students of Russian universities, it said.
