The United States will not join talks with Afghanistan organised by Russia due to logistical purposes, the State Department stated.

Russia’s Moscow is holding discussions on Wednesday with the Taliban, China, Pakistan, and President Vladimir Putin. “We will not be able to take part in the Moscow talks. The Troika-plus is a practical, constructive forum.
We look forward to joining the forum happening in Russia, but we are not in a situation to take part this week,” State Department Spokesperson Ned Price said.
