Earlier this week, Pakistan stressed the United Nations Security Council for the urgent need for renewals of diplomatic efforts and a complete ceasefire in the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
In 2023, Islamabad rejected the allegations according to which Pakistan agreed to provide weapons to Ukraine in exchange for the creation of a bailout of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), affirming that the country maintained a “strict neutrality policy”.
Refutation intervened after the order, an American publication, said in its latest report that Pakistan provided weapons in Ukraine via the United States.
The publication supported its assertions by two sources knowing the arrangement, claiming that the internal documents of the Pakistani and American governments confirm the development.
