MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Russia welcomes the ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan and hopes for its long-term sustainability, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Tuesday.
"We welcome the ceasefire agreement reached by New Delhi and Islamabad. We expect that it will be long-term and sustainable," Zakharova said at a briefing.
Russia expects that the disagreements will be resolved through political and diplomatic means on a bilateral basis, the spokeswoman added.
Tensions between India and Pakistan escalated following the terrorist attack near the town of Pahalgam on April 22, which killed 26 people, including a Nepalese citizen. The terrorist-linked Resistance Front insurgent group claimed responsibility for the attack. India blamed the terrorist attack on Pakistan, claiming ties between Islamabad and the terrorists.
On May 7, India launched missile strikes on Pakistan in an operation codenamed Sindoor. The Indian Defence Ministry said that the operation targeted only terrorist infrastructure and not Pakistani military facilities.
Pakistani authorities said that Indian strikes resulted in at least 31 fatalities. Military escalation and cross-border attacks followed.
The two countries announced a ceasefire on May 10.
