“We are surprised by such an unfounded and baseless statement,” he said in a statement issued on Tuesday.

Iftikhar added that the senator’s statement was without any rationale and “entirely inconsistent” with the spirit of Pakistan-Russia relations.

As per details, the Russian state-owned news agency quoted Senator Igor Morozov saying, “Ukraine and Pakistan discussed technologies for creating nuclear weapons…Ukrainian specialists traveled to Pakistan and received a delegation from Pakistan to discuss technologies for creating nuclear weapons.”

“We are seeking clarification on this from Moscow,” the Foreign Office spokesperson added.
