Russian Embassy scolded Pakistan

The Russian Embassy wrote in a post on the social media platform It is difficult to call this magazine Pakistani because its global news service is headquartered in Washington. America has more influence on this team and always gives priority to anti-Russian radicals, critics of Russian foreign policy and President Vladimir Putin.

The Russian Embassy alleged that it is difficult to find a single news in the international section of this news in which positive or unbiased news about Russia or its leadership has been published.

We respect freedom of expression- Russian Embassy

The Russian Embassy said, ‘We respect freedom of expression and the editorial board’s right to publish authors with differing viewpoints, however the anti-Russian articles raise questions about whether the editorial board’s policy is influenced by the political agenda of anti-Russian forces rather than freedom of expression.’

The embassy also objected to the fact that this newspaper did not publish the news of the Moscow Format Consultation held on October 7, 2025 at all. It was well covered in the local media, but this newspaper did not give coverage to the news related to the consultation event.

Apart from this, Russia also accused Frontier Post of tampering with evidence and said, ‘Washington-based Frontier Post journalists are tampering with facts to show Russia as a weak country on the verge of economic collapse.’

Russian Embassy hits back at Pakistan

The Russian Embassy hit back at Pakistan and wrote, ‘Despite facing huge external pressure, the Russian economy has shown continuous progress. In 2024, Russia’s GDP is projected to grow by 4.1%, with some sectors such as manufacturing growing by as much as 8.5%. Russia’s unemployment rate is 2.5 percent and the expected average annual inflation rate for 2025 is 6.5 to 7 percent.

These figures are unusual for a country whose economy is said to be on the verge of collapse. The Russian Embassy urged the people of Pakistan to get information from different sources and not to trust such publications.
