Pakistan has conveyed its serious concerns to the Western diplomatic missions, which used social media platforms to issue a joint statement urging Islamabad to condemn Russian blitzkrieg of Ukraine. The joint statement was also endorsed by the US Embassy in Islamabad through its official Twitter handle. The spokesperson said using the social media platform was a tricky tool and one has to be careful while using it. Western countries and their allies have been pushing Pakistan to take a clear stance against Russia. But Pakistan’s efforts to stay “neutral” are being severely tested as many Western countries are publically asking Islamabad to condemn Russia.
