Today morning, Russia declared war on Ukraine and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenksyy compared Russia’s actions to that of Nazi Germany during World War II. High tension is going on with Ukraine border guards confirming that Russian forces broke into the north of Kyiv region a few minutes ago. Meanwhile, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan is on his maiden visit to Russia now and he has seemingly described the Russia-Ukraine war as “exciting”.

“What a time I have come so much excitement,” he was heard telling a Russian official after landing in Russia. A video of the interaction is now doing rounds on the internet. Imran Khan on Wednesday left for Russia on a two-day visit — the first by a Pakistani premier in over two decades. He will hold talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin to strengthen bilateral ties and expand cooperation in the energy sector.

Imran Khan’s visit comes in the wake of US President Joe Biden, Canada PM Justin Trudeau, and other Western governments imposing tough economic sanctions on Russia for sending its military into eastern Ukraine. Today morning, Vladimir Putin announced the invasion and said clashes between Russian and Ukrainian forces are “inevitable”. At present, Ukraine has declared martial law in the country.
