MojNews- Russia has reaffirmed its readiness to be a guarantor for any peace deal between the U.S. and Taliban . 

"The Russian side reaffirms its readiness to act as a guarantor for the implementation of the said agreement, in case of receiving an appropriate request from the parties," Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova said on Wednesday.

Asked how Russia sees its role, in achieving a compromise between the U.S. and the Taliban, Zakharova said Russia would help to implement the deal.

Taliban have said that they were close to an agreement with U.S. officials that would see U.S. forces withdraw from Afghanistan, in exchange for a promise that the country would not become a haven for international terrorism.

Both sides have been holding negotiations in Doha, capital of Qatar, since late last year.
