PESHAWAR, Pakistan - The Taliban have sent a delegation to Russia to discuss prospects for a withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan following the collapse of talks with the United States this month, officials from the insurgent group said.
The move, days after U.S. President Donald Trump canceled a planned meeting with Taliban leaders at his Camp David retreat, came as the movement looks to bolster regional support, with visits also planned for China, Iran and Central Asian states. Russia, which has hosted meetings between the Taliban and Afghan political and civil society representatives, said this week it hoped that the process could be put back on track and urged both sides to resume talks.
U.S. and Taliban officials held months of talks in the Qatari capital of Doha and agreed a draft accord that would have seen some 5,000 U.S. troops withdrawn from Afghanistan in exchange for security guarantees from the Taliban.

Trump may be ordered by Putin to attend, stay tuned
Fantastic. Trump stomped all over diplomacy with the Taliban, so now they go over his head straight to the boss in the mother land.
Interesting how the Taliban trip to Russia was predicted by CNN well before Trump cancelled talks.
Taliban are the most crooked and slippery group of extremist seeking political power throgh blackmail .
