On Thursday (6th November), the Russian Embassy in Pakistan slammed the latter’s English daily ‘The Frontier Post’ for peddling US propaganda and amplifying Russophobia.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), it stated, “We have taken note of a series of anti-Russian articles published in the English-language Pakistani newspaper, the Frontier Post.”
“Recently, it has been impossible to find a single article in the international section of the newspaper that portrays Russia or its leadership in a positive or even neutral light…The current barrage of anti-Russian articles containing standard Western propaganda and lacking any alternative viewpoint makes one wonder whether the editorial board’s policy is based on a political agenda promoted by anti-Russian forces rather than on freedom of speech,” it pointed out.

The Russian embassy continued, “As for the anti-Russian theses in the newspaper, the editorial staff shows little originality, mindlessly copying standard Western propaganda such as “weak economy,” “vulnerability to sanctions” and “military superiority of the West.””
It emphasised, “…Frontier Post journalists manipulate facts to portray Russia as a vulnerable country on the brink of economic collapse, thereby justifying new Western sanctions that ultimately harm the economies of the countries imposing them.”
“We urge the Pakistani public to seek information from various sources and not rely on publications that serve the dubious interests of foreign sponsors,” the Russian Embassy in Pakistan concluded.
