      <title>Dark humor descends on Twitter as PM “enjoys” time in Russia amid Ukraine invasion
</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30279550/</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Social media users on Thursday reacted to Prime Minister Imran Khan’s visit to Russia at a time when it  launched a military operation on its neighbour Ukraine. Doing what Pakistanis arguably do best: create memes, people expressed a “sense of awkwardness” with the entire ordeal - with some levity that one would expect with Twitter.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;
				&lt;div class='media__item    media__item--twitter  '&gt;            &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
                &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/MHuzaifaNizam/status/1496743411679961088?s=20&amp;amp;t=FJnrrUuPOvoLFExHSXGhhQ"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				
			&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“IK enjoying in Russia,” said one user. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;
				&lt;div class='media__item    media__item--twitter  '&gt;            &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
                &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/Leena_Ghani/status/1496950532753158178?s=20&amp;amp;t=rN9rZcxAiSdwZJXCc5aXcg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				
			&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;
				&lt;div class='media__item    media__item--twitter  '&gt;            &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
                &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/ajitdatta/status/1496687219196989441?s=20&amp;amp;t=hvuNOTBOKyYSOku1As0VKw"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				
			&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;
				&lt;div class='media__item    media__item--twitter  '&gt;            &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
                &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/Leena_Ghani/status/1496971862081142786?s=20&amp;amp;t=rN9rZcxAiSdwZJXCc5aXcg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				
			&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One person shared a video of a high school fight as a humorous representation of the situation. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;
				&lt;div class='media__item    media__item--twitter  '&gt;            &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
                &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/MeetPrisha/status/1497113400534396928?s=20&amp;amp;t=hvuNOTBOKyYSOku1As0VKw"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				
			&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Many users criticised the premier for saying that he has arrived in the country “at an exciting time.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;
				&lt;div class='media__item    media__item--twitter  '&gt;            &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
                &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/YusufDFI/status/1496701677155807235?s=20&amp;amp;t=UR2y2c_ubpD15zbENq_u1A"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				
			&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The PM who had landed in Moscow on Wednesday for a two-day visit to Russia was heard telling a member of the welcoming delegation, “What a time I have come... so much excitement.” The video went viral on social media. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Twitter user Sonam Mahajan said, “Ukraine has always backed Pakistan and supplied defence equipment to the notorious Pakistan Armed Forces despite being warned against it, it’s sad that Imran Khan is describing the ongoing tragedy as an exciting time.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;
				&lt;div class='media__item    media__item--twitter  '&gt;            &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
                &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/AsYouNotWish/status/1497064650399436805?s=20&amp;amp;t=hvuNOTBOKyYSOku1As0VKw"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				
			&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			 &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One user accused Russian president for using Imran Khan as a “decoy to show normalcy and attack Ukraine.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;
				&lt;div class='media__item    media__item--twitter  '&gt;            &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
                &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/AdityaRajKaul/status/1496904722610999299?s=20&amp;amp;t=hvuNOTBOKyYSOku1As0VKw"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				
			&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;			&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But some people believe the visit was not a total failure. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--uneven media--embed  '&gt;
