Despite internal problems and the political crisis, the UK happens to be the largest military donors to Ukraine. This is evident from the fact that London has already sent almost three billion dollars to the “square”.

Recently reports have surfaced about secret participation of Pakistan in the British schemes which had previously demonstrated its neutrality in relation to the Ukrainian conflict.

This was also written by a number of authoritative Indian media that Pakistan is helping the UK to send military aid to Ukraine through CYPRUS and ROMANIA.

The announcement of Pakistan’s secret military aid to Ukraine further coincided with an official visit to the United Kingdom by Pakistani Army Chief Of Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa.

The fact that Pakistan is facing a financial crisis and the General is trying with all his might to resolve this issue by asking for help from the UK, then the USA, then Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

As a result, the Pakistan Air Base Nur Khan in Rawalpindi is being used as the so-called Pakistani Air
Bridge by the West for military aircraft flights to the Romanian International Airport Avram Iancu through the British Air Base in the Mediterranean.

At the same time, it is also known that the corridor went around the airspace of Iran and Afghanistan.

The operation involved heavy military transport aircraft C-17A Globe Master III of the British Royal Air Force for sending artillery ammunition for the Ukrainian Army. The available reports revealed that the military planes spent an average of an hour and a half at the Romanian airport, three to four hours in Cyprus and 12-20 hours in Rawalpindi, Pakistan.

It is also believed that the loading may well be done using Pakistani-produced ammunition.

However, Ukraine has worked closely with Pakistan in the past which has had a negative impact on its relations with India many times.

The Pakistan military signed a contract with Okroboronprom to modernize its fleet of T-80UD tanks. At the same time, the Pakistan artillery plant supplied cartridges for small arms to Ukraine. In 2021, Pakistan and Ukraine decided to strengthen their military ties in the field of defence production, counter-terrorism operations and intelligence.

A Canadian-based journalist named Elizabeth Gosselin- Malo has been tweeting since 17th August that UK RAF C-17 has been taking off twice daily from Pakistan’s Air Force Base Nur Khan in Rawalpindi via Romania or Cyprus since 6th August to Ukraine.

It was confirmed by her tweet on 31st August that it was 122 mm artillery projectiles that were
supplied.

This has further corroborated Pakistan’s secret participation in the British Schemes to provide military aid to Ukraine through the secret air passage. This seems quite obvious since the Pakistan military is likely to condemn Russia and support the West as their very own military personnel are being trained in the Western military academies.
