Afghan media reported that shortly after his pre-recorded message to the nation, President Ghani held a consultative meeting with political and jihadi leaders who supported his notion for preventing further instability in the country.
Earlier in the day, the Taliban seized large parts of Afghanistan and started entering the outskirts Kabul.
The capital city was the last major city to be held by government forces, after all the provincial capitals fell to the Taliban offensive.
The Taliban started an offensive nearly two weeks ago, capturing a number of key towns, cities and border posts.
Today’s strike on Kabul comes as international forces prepare to evacuate their diplomats amid the worsening security situation.
Reportedly, the Taliban pledged not to take Afghan capital "by force".
"No one's life, property and dignity will be harmed and the lives of the citizens of Kabul will not be at risk," they said in a statement.
