Can you share more details about this pact? What was the Ukrainian commitment? Did they not abide by it?
Under what condition those promises were made by Russia... must be something on Ukraine's end too ??
 

Very impressive soldiers. Because of low birth rates in Russia there is a shortage of military age ethnic Russians. Muslims are 10-15% of Russian's population but they make up a much larger proportion of young people. It was estimated that at some point a majority of Russian soldiers will be Muslim. Being aware of this the Russians slowed down recruiting Muslims.

Russia plays down the number of Muslims in the country. Officially it is 9 million, US estimates 14 million but the Grand Mufti of Russia (religious head) says that it is 25 million. Figures for what percentage of the Russian military are currently Muslim are hard to find. But I would guess it would be at least 25%.
 
I don't know. Pakistan's position is neutral. As is India's.
But on the whole a Russian supremacy in Ukraine would mean China's strengthening of global position-- and that can't be bad for Pakistan at least in the short term.


Ukraine has been a reliable defence partner to Pakistan. This war will decimate Ukrainian military industrial complex. Not to mention, besiege the seaports Ukraine used for trade which played a role in PA modernisation efforts.

Can PA overcome it? Possibly but the loss of many decades long defence partner will create hurdles.
