Ukraine is not Russia's to dictate anything though.

Putin did not say that he will arm the Taliban. He said that the "self proclaimed republics" (i.e., Donbass) may respond by providing arms to other zones of conflict. In fact, Russia has no interest in arming their former enemies, the Taliban, which will continue being a problem for US regardless of what Russia does. What is interesting is that Putin sees Donbass as a tool of Russian interests.
