Russia was one of the states that requested convening of formal UN meet on KAshmir alongwith Britain, China while US and France called it bilateral issue.
Whatever Aljazeera reporter says or Russian diplomat tries to give ambigious statement. India knows Russia will side with China in UNSC
I was not happy with Imran Khan's decision to take it diplomatically, and we all know the only way to solve this is WAR.
India had envisaged that UNSC won't be able to convene on Kashmir. They sent there China expert foreign secretary Jaishankar with lucrative offers to Beijing if China stays mum on the issue.
Indian narrative is this is 'India's internal matter' and they have bulldozed all treaties and agreement s esp. good for us the Simla declaration 1972. Post UNSC meet, its diplomat was in a bind saying the same old crap 'we are ready to talk', 'Kashmir status not changed','talks according to Simla declaration', blah blah bakwaas. Moi\di in away has screwed his diplomatic team.
Indian diplomat had to accept on UN forum Kashmir is a bilateral matter as no one is Security Council supported India on internal matter excuse.
Pakistani diplomats are limited in their ability, it was the overseas public power that Imran Khan invoked on August 15 where Indians abroad felt the pressure on Kashmir. London, Tokyo, Seouil,, Malaysia Indians wereridiculed on the strets and their flag desecrated on their national day. On social media the hashtag August15blackday spread over the world on Indian Independence Day so much that twitter had to disable it from world trends.
Even after these setbacks India tries to play with information, they are experts on disinformation we need up our game there and not take the bait. Our liberal agent thugs take randian non-credible information as relevant news reports they need to be discredited. Indian media today around the world is completely discredited as they have to peddle propaganda for their Hindu Taliban state narrative.
