Three-time former prime minister of Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif is on the precipice of returning to the country. Reportedly, Sharif&nbsp;has been issued a five-year diplomatic passport after receiving clearance from the ministry of foreign affairs.&nbsp;

The announcement comes at the time when his younger brother and current Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif is in London to meet him after taking a detour from the COP27 summit, currently underway in Egypt.&nbsp;

"Mian Sahib (Nawaz Sharif) is coming, failure is destined for Imran Khan," PM Shehbaz Sharif told reporters in London.

As reported extensively by WION, Sharif has been in a self-imposed exile in London since 2019 after getting convicted in corruption cases.

Sharif was sentenced to seven years in prison in 2018 in the Al-Azizia Steel Mills corruption case. Later, he was charged in Avenfield properties reference where he was sentenced&nbsp;to 11 years in prison and fined $9.4 million.

In 2019, the Lahore High Court (LHC) suspended his sentence and allowed Nawaz to go abroad for medical treatment. Subsequently, he went to London on November 19, 2019, and since then, never returned.

Sharif, who has been in London since has been looking to make a comeback for a long time. The whispers surrounding his return started growing earlier this year when senior party leaders said Sharif will be back on Pakistani soil by September.&nbsp;

Nawaz's presence is expected to boost the fortunes of PML-N as the party leaders think that his presence is necessary to stop Imran Khan-led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party. The PTI chief has the public sentiment by his side ever since the failed assassination attempt on him. Thus, Shehbaz is looking to bring in the big guns.

FTC watching Twitter with 'deep concern' as Musk warns bankruptcy fears 'are very real'

America’s top general&nbsp;Mark A Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has said at internal&nbsp;meetings that Ukraine should start negotiations, now that winter is about to set in. He said that it has achieved about as much as they could reasonably expect on the battlefield, media reports said citing officials informed about the discussions.

However, there are other advisers to US President Joe Biden who think that it might still be too early, the reports said. They believe that a pause in fighting will allow Russia to regroup its forces. Also, Washington might be seen as pressuring Ukraine to come to the bargaining table, for which the moment is not ripe.

US security package for Ukraine

Meanwhile, Pentagon on Thursday announced another $400 million security assistance package to Ukraine and will also give air defence systems and surface-to-air missiles.&nbsp;

According to the US, these additional air defence weapons are essential due to Russia's relentless air strikes against Ukrainians and the infrastructure. This is the first time Ukraine received four short-range, highly mobile Avenger&nbsp;air defence systems with Stinger missiles.&nbsp;
