Ukraine War Consequence US warns Pakistan about Ukraine war consequence
Washington, DC: The United States has warned Pakistan that the ongoing war in Ukraine could have both regional and global consequences.
“We have briefed the government of Pakistan on the impact that Russia’s unprovoked war against Ukraine could have on regional and global security,” a US State Department spokesperson told The Dawn when asked to respond to these developments.
Pakistan's foreign office had earlier objected to the issuance of a press release by a group of 23 envoys earlier this week and called the move as 'undiplomatic'.
Pakistan’s UN Ambassador Munir Akram says that Islamabad is not only aware of the consequences of its actions, but also “supports all efforts” to restore peace in Ukraine, reports The Dawn.
In his words, to interpret Pakistan’s position on this issue as an expression of support for Russia “would be a perverse interpretation, especially once seen together with our statement in the UNGA.”
“We are advocating a ceasefire and negotiations. If we had joined the Ukraine resolution, we would have no political space for diplomacy with the two sides,” he said.
