New Delhi ∙ Pakistan is changing its diplomatic stance after Imran Khan was ousted from power. Pakistan started trying to gain the favor of America and the Western world once again by ending Imran’s favoritism towards Russia.
Last month, Pakistan provided weapons to the Ukrainian army fighting against the Russian army. The rockets made in Pakistan were sent as part of the plans prepared by the western countries to help Ukraine. Prior to this, Pakistan had signed an agreement with Britain. The weapons sent by sea from Karachi reached Germany and from there they were delivered to Ukraine by road. Britain also pays.
According to reports, 122 mm Yarmouk rockets used in ground warfare were sent. These can be fired from some specialized Russian-made rocket launchers that the Ukrainian military has.
It is learned that the Indian National Security Adviser has briefed the Russian leadership on this relationship between Pakistan and Ukraine. India also pointed this out in the informal discussions held with Russian security chief Nikolai Patrushev when he arrived to attend the meeting of security advisers of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization countries yesterday. Despite being members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the representatives of Pakistan and China participated in the conference through video link rather than in person.
The day after Russia invaded Ukraine in February last year, then Prime Minister Imran Khan visited Moscow. Imran claimed that he went to discuss buying grain and oil from Russia. Imran later said that this visit had caused the resentment of the Pakistani military leadership. Imran also claims that he refused the then Army Chief General Bajwa’s request to condemn the Russian attack. Bajwa himself then condemned the Russian attack. Imran claims that he was expelled by the United States and the Pakistan Army.
