Imran Khan, the former prime minister of Pakistan, stated that Pakistan’s future is tied to Russia. Amid economic crisis, Pakistan is considering trading with Russia while the West has set out to punish the Russian President Vladimir Putin for the Ukraine war by imposing sanctions on Russian businesses and billionaires to blacklist. In an interview with German broadcaster Deutsche Welle (DW), the struggling PTI leader said it was good to take a moral stance on the international stage but this shouldn’t come at the expense of its citizens.
