The Russian Embassy in Pakistan accused The Frontier Post newspaper of spreading "anti-Russian propaganda" and serving Western political interests. The Embassy claimed the publication, with its global news service headquartered in Washington, runs articles by "ardent Russophobes" and never portrays Russia positively. Moscow criticized the newspaper for ignoring the Moscow Format of Consultations on Afghanistan held October 7, 2025, despite dedicating an entire section to Afghan news. The Embassy defended Russia's economic resilience, citing 4.1% GDP growth in 2024, 2.5% unemployment, and manufacturing sector growth of 8.5%. It also highlighted successful testing of Burevestnik cruise missiles and Poseidon underwater vehicles, urging Pakistanis to seek diverse information sources.
