Russia’s government has urged both Pakistan and Afghanistan to immediately cease hostilities and end the ongoing clashes, calling instead for peaceful and diplomatic solutions to their disputes, according to a report by the Russian state‑owned news agency RIA Novosti.
In its appeal, Moscow stressed the importance of de‑escalation and resolving differences through diplomacy rather than continued military confrontation. The statement reflects Russia’s concern about the escalating conflict between the two neighbours and its potential to destabilize the wider region if left unchecked.
This call from Russia comes amid intense border tensions and military exchanges that have drawn international attention, with various regional actors also urging restraint and dialogue.
