“The United States is deeply concerned about the growing tension between India and Pakistan and urges both sides to take real steps to de-escalate,” RIA Novosti quotes him.
The representative of the White House noted that the military conflict between India and Pakistan bears unacceptably high risks for the states themselves, their neighbors and the entire world community.
On February 27, the Pakistani army reported that two planes of the Indian Air Force were shot down in Pakistani airspace. The Pakistan Foreign Ministry explained the air strike as a demonstration of readiness for self-defense.
In turn, the Foreign Ministry of Russia expressed concern about Pakistan’s air strikes against the Indian Air Force, and also called for a de-escalation of the conflict.
Andrei Chuprygin, a senior lecturer at the HSE School of Oriental Studies, commented on the situation with the Indian Air Force planes shot down by Pakistan in an interview with NSN.
