"Pakistan rejects change of any international borders and believes in unity territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine". Not the will of the people of Crimea who voted in favour of Russia? What happened about the right of self determination,will and wishes of people etc? One rule for kashmir and another for Crimea? Sheer duplicity.
