STATEMENT OF THE EMBASSY OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

[Aviator23]

It's starting today in Cherat.At no point the exercise will take place in Gilgit.

So why does the Russian Ministry of Defence page say the exact opposite?

 

[Hellfire]

Russia is humiliating India to show its unhappiness while the GoI wants to use this humiliation as an excuse to move even further towards West... The fault lines are getting clearer by the day.

You are, for once, absolutely wrong here.

This is just another way of diplomacy. Please do not make assumptions bereft of any logic.

With the present state of affairs, the Russians have opened a conduit for negotiations and de-escalation. If such a rationale has to be explained to you, then I am sure we can as well just call it a day.

I had expected you to reach this conclusion by now.

Few things you must be very clear on:

1. Contrary to what anyone says and I mean ANYONE Russia is also wary of Takfiri ideology and militancy and insurgency in the name of Islam. You need to look at their Republic of Chechnya, which is a potential powder keg.

2. Russia will not be willing to associate in propping up a country which has been increasingly coming under fire for relations to every terror attack. The charge of 'non-state' actors may/may not be accepted by individual countries, but the fact that every attack is being traced to territory under GoP puts an impression of unwillingness/inability of the GoP to eradicate the same.

3. Breaking off all conduits of negotiations and diplomacy is not exactly a very bright idea. However, in the current scenario wherein the passions are inflamed and there is a mighty distrust of US in Pakistan and India too, Russia, but naturally, fits into the role of a facilitator at reduction of present levels of tensions. That Russia is seen solidly backing China and China seen as a backer of Pakistan, naturally consolidates the potential role of Russia as a facilitator.

Now please stop posting any more childish derivatives.

Also, let the exercises begin and conclude. It is merely speculative. Russia will not be doing anything to further inflame passions on either side of border. It is, contrary to its tendency and Western efforts to portray it as such, not an irresponsible power.

Latest statement by Russian military has no references to Gilgit.
