Indian satirical website The Fauxy recently published a satire that says Pakistan is contributing to the west economic sanctions against Russia by not repaying the $1 billion loan amount it had sought from Moscow. The article was meant as a sarcastic swipe against Pakistan whose foundering economy is perpetually propped by loans Islamabad continues to seek from countries around the world.
This satirical take on debt-ridden Pakistan’s contributions to the economic sanctions against Russia in the wake of the Ukraine invasion was passed off as actual News by many international media outlets.
Another Japanese website also published a satirical article as actual news stating that Pakistan is going to inflict punishment on Russia by defaulting on its loan payment.
