ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 23rd Sep, 2025) Ambassador of Russia to Pakistan, Albert P. Khorev on Tuesday said that Russia is making real progress toward achieving peace in Ukraine and although the direct Russia-Ukraine negotiations have seen limited progress, certain achievements have been made. Russian Ambassador said that since May 2025, over 1,000 prisoners of war from both sides have been exchanged and the remaining of 6,060 Ukrainian soldiers have been transferred to Ukraine for burial and Russia received 78 bodies. Fifty-three delegations opposed it, including the United Kingdom, Canada, Ukraine, and EU member states, he said. The Ambassador said that together with like-minded countries, Russia does not intend to tolerate racist and neo-colonial approaches and will counter them at the United Nations and elsewhere. He said that those who closely follow the domestic political situation in Ukraine are hardly surprised by such violations of legal norms.
