Islamabad, 30 December 2025: President Asif Ali Zardari has expressed concern over reports of an attack on the residence of President Vladimir Putin, cautioning that such incidents risk undermining ongoing efforts aimed at a peaceful resolution of the conflict.

The President said that at a critical moment, when talks to end the war are at a sensitive stage, actions that escalate tensions are extremely counterproductive. He urged both sides to exercise the highest degree of restraint and to direct their actions towards the success of dialogue and diplomacy.

President Zardari emphasised that peace remains the only viable path forward and that restraint and responsibility are essential to prevent further deterioration of the situation.
