I'd argue that there could've been a foreign policy interest in supporting Ukraine. For decades, the Russians have sold arms to India and, as a result, have contributed against Pakistani security interests. So, actively and openly supporting Ukraine does, technically, fall in line with our interests had we been an independent country (both politically and economically). And beyond that, a Ukraine that survives and thrives could be a conduit for critical tech, such as gas turbines, diesel engines, etc, for our indigenous programs in the future.
That said, had Pakistan been strong and independent, then I imagine the Russians would've sent Putin to Islamabad to expressly request us to stay out of the war, or support Russia instead.
