ISLAMABAD – Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said on Tuesday that Pakistan wanted an immediate end to the war in Ukraine launched by Russia in late February.
He stated this during a press conference along with German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, who arrived in Islamabad today on a two-day visit to hold talks with Pakistani leadership on matters of mutual interests.
He said that Pakistani government is in contact with Ukraine, Russia and other countries, adding: “We support peaceful resolution to conflicts between the countries”.
Speaking on the occasion, the German ambassador said that human rights were being violated in Ukraine war.
Last week, Pakistan sent a second batch of humanitarian aid to war-torn Ukraine comprising food items, tents, and bundles of blankets with other supplies.

The Ukraine Embassy in Poland will transport the 7.5 tonnes of relief items to the war-hit country in coordination with Polish authorities.
