Overview

  • Special assistant Syed Tariq Fatemi told the Security Council that no dispute can be resolved by force and that Pakistan supports every credible initiative to end the war.
  • The Council met under its threats-to-peace agenda after Estonia said three Russian MiG-31s crossed its airspace on September 19, a claim Moscow rejected as unfounded.
  • Estonia’s foreign minister presented radar imagery to the Council, while Russia’s envoy said the flights followed international rules on a planned route.
  • UN officials warned that intensifying strikes and casualties risk a wider escalation and urged diplomats to preserve fragile momentum toward negotiations.
  • Pakistan reaffirmed support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all states, highlighting the conflict’s fourth year and its role in driving global food and energy shocks.
