Russia ended on Saturday with the global chorus of calls to India and Pakistan to turn off tensions caused by the deadly Pahagam rampage as Pakistani leaders reached out to several world leaders in their ongoing diplomatic push to the Descalate situation.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov called his Indian colleague’s Jaisankar to discuss simmering tensions that threaten to trigger military hostilities between the two arcs.

“They discussed questions about Russian-Indian cooperation and the deterioration of the relations on Indian-Pakistani conditions following the terrorist attack in Pahaldam,” said Indias Ani by quoting a Russian Foreign Ministry’s statement.

“Sergey Lavrov called for dismissal between New Delhi and Islamabad on a bilateral basis on political and diplomatic means in accordance with the provisions of the Simla Agreement in 1972 and the Lahore Declaration in 1999,” added it.

Lavrov’s request came a day after the EU’s foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas called Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar and the Minister of Indian external affairs Jaiskkar to “urge both sides to show restraint and pursue dialogue to facilitate the situation”. US Vice President JD Vance also said his country hoped that India’s response to the Pahagam incident “does not lead to a wider regional conflict.”

Despite its historically warm bonds with India going back to the era of the Cold War, Russia’s emphasis suggests diplomacy for caution as New Delhi’s slope towards Washington does not pay off.

While the top US leaders, including President Donald Trump, heavily condemned the attack, it felt “terror” and “unconsciously”, they did not stop explicitly pointing his finger against Pakistan. Unlike previous administrations that easily invoked “Nuclear Flashpoint” rhetoric over Kashmir, Trump’s lukewarm remarks also suggested a remarkable cooling of urgent nature.

India’s diplomatic push lost additional steam as it fought to publicly offer evidence to substantiate his claim of Pakistan’s commitment to the Pahagam killings. The lack of concrete evidence threw a long shadow of doubt, and what New Delhi had hoped would be a rally cries instead became a whine.

Meanwhile, Islamabad has worked with the phones and reached out to friendly states and western nations and made sure that its side of the story is registered when India weapons the Indus Waters Treaty. On Saturday, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif Pakistan’s demand for a neutral investigation and accused India of throwing baseless claims.

During a meeting with Ambassador for the Republic of Turkiye, Dr. Irfan Neziroglu, emphasized the leading Pakistan’s consistent and principled condemnation of terrorism “in all its forms and manifestations” according to a statement from his office.

“India has not yet responded to Pakistan’s offer to have a credible, transparent and neutral international investigation to find the facts behind the Pahagam incident,” he said, claiming that Pakistan was fully prepared to cooperate with such a study and would “Welcome if Turkiye joined it.”

PM Shehbaz also expressed gratitude to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for his “strong statement that supported Pakistan in the ruling situation in South Asia” and his consistent call for peace in the region.

The Turkish envoy conveyed Ankara’s appreciation of Pakistan’s principle position and repeated Turkiye’s solidarity. He also advocated for restraint and shell and emphasized the importance of maintaining peace in South Asia.

Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, meanwhile, spoke with his Greek colleague George Gerapetritis by the phone and informed him of the evolving situation and rejected what he described as India’s “baseless accusations, disinformation campaign and illegal unilateral measures” which he warned and needed peace in the region.

“He [FM Dar] Did the India’s unilateral decision sentenced to hold the Indus Waters Treaty in Abeyance – an obvious violation of its international obligations, “the Foreign Office said in a statement. Dar also called on the need for an” independent and transparent investigation to determine facts “.

FM gerapetritis recognized the dangers of escalation, supported Pakistan’s proposal for a neutral probe and emphasized the need for diplomatic restraint. The two leaders also agreed to maintain close coordination of regional issues and global forums, especially at the UN Security Council, both of which act as non-permanent members.

In another key search, FM Dar spoke with Swiss federal councilor and Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis to use him about the worsening security environment, “expressed serious concern over India’s recent provocative actions, including baseless claims, inflammatory propaganda and its unilateral decision to keep Indus Legal obligations, “According to a foreign office.

FM Dar repeated Pakistan’s call for a credible international investigation and assured that Islamabad remained obliged to exercise restraint without compromising its sovereign rights or national interests.

FM Cassis paid tribute to Pakistan’s measured approach, approved the investigation proposal and offered Switzerland’s “good offices” to facilitate a fair and impartial process. Both sides agreed to remain in close consultation as the crisis unfolded.
