To spread: President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky announced the presence of mercenaries from Pakistan in the ranks of the Russian army. Islamabad wants to hear more details. In the Kharkiv region, mercenaries from China, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Pakistan and Africa countries are fighting on the side of the Russian troops.

This was stated by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky on August 4, when he visited the positions of the 17th separate infantry battalion of the 57th Brigade of the Armed Forces. The head of state spoke with the commanders about the situation on the forefront, the defense of Vovchansk and the dynamics of fighting. According to him, it was the military of the Armed Forces that was recorded in this direction of mercenaries from different countries.

Zelensky stressed that Ukraine will respond to it. Pakistan's Foreign Ministry rejected "unfounded and unjustified accusations" about the participation of Pakistan citizens in a full -scale war. Diplomats say that they did not currently receive the official appeal of the Ukrainian authorities on this occasion. Islamabad did not provide proven evidence of these statements.

"Pakistan's government will discuss this issue with the Ukrainian authorities and will require clarification on this," the Ministry said. Pakistan confirms the commitment to the peaceful settlement of war in Ukraine through dialogue and diplomacy in accordance with the principles of the UN Charter. China, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan have not yet reacted to Zelensky's statement about mercenaries.
