However our Prime minister Imran Khan is still in Moscow as far as anyone knows , he arrived on the 23rd of February to Russia for a meeting with The Russian leader Putin, however he was supposed to depart last night, no word of his arrival yet and Pakistani citizens are still trapped asking for help.
Opposition politician Maryam Nawaz has taken notice of the issue
Is there anyone listening to the entreaties of hundreds of Pakistani students stranded in Ukraine waiting to be evacuated ?
