According to Russia, the united states is penalising Imran Khan for not cancelling his visit to Moscow.

In the midst of Pakistan's continuing political turmoil, Russia's foreign ministry has responded to accusations of a "threat letter" to now-de-notified Prime Minister Imran Khan, saying: "The United States decided to punish Imran Khan since he did not cancel his visit to Russia."

Imran Khan had previously stated that a foreign country disapproved of his independent foreign policy. He said that a foreign country wanted him to be deposed by a vote of no confidence so that Pakistan might be "forgiven."

The "threat document," Khan claimed, requested a regime change and mentioned Khan's removal as prime minister.

Imran Khan, Pakistan's prime minister, reportedly praised Russia's invasion of Ukraine as "exciting" during his first visit to Russia in February. "What a time I've come... So much excitement," he said in a viral video after landing in Russia to a Russian official. Streaming video
