Izvestia found out whether residents of the most numerous country in the world approve of the decision of their authorities and what the escalation could lead to.

Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar confirmed that an agreement had been reached with India on an immediate ceasefire. He stressed that Pakistan has consistently stood for peace and security in the region, without sacrificing its sovereignty and territorial integrity. At the same time, Dar stated that Pakistan's strikes on Indian territory were a defensive measure. He also added that Indian aggression is unacceptable, calling their actions over the past 48 hours a "continuous stream of lies."
