Imran Khan, Putin, Ukraine attack
While Ukraine bears Russian missile strikes, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin as scheduled.

During his ill-timed visit to Russia, the first such trip by a Pakistani PM in 23 years Imran Khan aims to push for the construction of a long-delayed, multibillion-dollar gas pipeline in collaboration with Russian companies.
Vladimir Putin, the Russianpremier, will meet with Khan during this visit. The two men are expected to discuss issues regarding economic cooperation.
