Russia on Wednesday urged India and Pakistan to “show restraint” as it expressed “serious concern” about the escalation of hostilities between the two countries.
“We call on both sides to show restraint and step up efforts to resolve existing problems by political and diplomatic means,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia said in a statement.
It expressed “serious concern” about the aggravation of the situation along the Line of Control and the outbreak of tensions between the two neighbours.
“We are ready to further assist in strengthening the counter-terrorism potential of New Delhi and Islamabad,” the ministry added.
