Afghanistan has experienced a surge in violence in recent weeks as the Taliban* intensified its offensive after international troops began withdrawing from the country in May. The Taliban have captured large rural territories and launched an offensive upon cities. 
The troop withdrawal was one of the points of the agreement that the Taliban and the United States reached in Doha in February of last year.
*Taliban is a terrorist group banned in Russia and many other countries.
