According to sources, Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi in a spirit of goodwill handed over the relief items to the ambassador of Ukraine. The relief items include medicines, electro-medical equipment, bedding and food items.
On the other hand, the Ukrainian ambassador thanked Shah Mehmood Qureshi and the Pakistani leadership for sending relief goods.
According to sources, the relief goods will be delivered to Lublin, Poland by two special flights.
On the occasion, Shah Mehmood Qureshi said that Pakistan wants the issue to be resolved through dialogue while we have close relations with Ukraine.
It should be noted that the federal government had recently approved aid to Ukraine on humanitarian grounds.
Earlier on Monday, Grand Mufti of Ukraine Said Ismagilov had also entered the battlefield in military uniform, fighting against the Russian army.
Earlier after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had rejected the US offer to leave the country and called on the people to fight against Russia.
According to foreign media reports, Imam Said Ismagilov, a prominent figure in Ukraine’s Muslim community, also appeared to support the Ukrainian army in the immediate aftermath of the Russian invasion. In his military uniform, numerous photos are also circulating on the social media.
Imam Said Ismagilov not only wore a military uniform against the Russian aggression, but also called on the Muslims of Ukraine to come forward to defend their country.
The Ukraine’s Grand Mufti has criticised Muslims who sided with Russia in the war, saying “all Muslims in Ukraine must fight against Russian aggression.”
Last week, the White House had said it fears a chemical attack by Russia in Ukraine.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told a news conference that Russia was planning to attack Ukraine with chemical or biological weapons, and that we should all keep an eye on that.
Jane Sackie called Russia’s claims about US biological weapons, laboratory and chemical weapons production in Ukraine as “baseless.”
She said Russia’s “false claims” were certainly a ploy to justify provocative attacks.
Jen Psaki said that Russia could use these weapons to launch another False Flag Operation in Ukraine, which is very clear.
