At a UN Security Council session, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs Syed Tariq Fatemi said Pakistan supports all credible international efforts—particularly those under UN auspices—to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict. He stressed that disputes cannot be resolved by force and urged both sides to exercise patience and restraint to prevent further civilian suffering. Fatemi warned that the prolonged war has compounded a global humanitarian crisis and fuelled food and energy shocks, with ripple effects on inflation in developing countries. He reiterated Pakistan’s position that international law and the UN Charter must guide any settlement and that space should be created for diplomacy rather than escalation. Pakistan, he added, will continue to back Security Council initiatives aimed at de-escalation and stands ready to contribute to any genuine move that advances peace. He framed the appeal in humanitarian terms, pointing to the toll on innocent lives and the need to restore stability to global supply chains that the conflict has disrupted.
