Metro53 - Pakistan on Tuesday categorically rejected Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's "baseless and unfounded" allegations that its nationals were involved in the Ukraine conflict, saying no credible evidence has been presented to substantiate such claims.
The Foreign Office's response came a day after President Zelensky claimed that Ukrainian troops in northeastern Ukraine were fighting foreign "mercenaries" from various countries, including China, Pakistan and parts of Africa, and vowed a response.
"We spoke with commanders about the frontline situation, the defence of Vovchansk, and the dynamics of the battles," Zelensky alleged in a post on X after visiting a frontline area in the northeastern Kharkiv region.
"Our warriors in this sector are reporting the participation of mercenaries from China, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, and African countries in the war. We will respond".
