“People demonstrate unity and support for the President,” he said in an interview with Business Recorder on Sunday, adding that Russians “stand hand to hand, back to back, shoulder to shoulder in this confrontation with the West”.
The Russian diplomat said Russia had “no intentions to attack any Western country”, but maintained that Moscow could not accept the situation in Ukraine.
Referring to the Ukraine conflict, he said Russia’s position should be understood in the context of its history, particularly its experience during the Second World War.
He claimed that more than 27 million Russian people were “exterminated by Nazis” and said Russia was witnessing the “rising of Nazism in Ukraine”.
“We cannot tolerate that Russian language is prohibited in Ukraine,” he said, adding that many Ukrainians considered themselves Russian and spoke Russian.
Asked how long the war would continue, the envoy said Russia could not tolerate the situation and asserted: “We, in any case, will win this confrontation.”
“We are the biggest nuclear power, and we are one of the biggest countries in the world,” he added.
On President Putin’s domestic support, the consul general claimed that he enjoys more than 80 percent support among the Russian people.
He attributed this to improvements in living standards and security, recalling the economic difficulties and high criminal activity Russia experienced during the 1990s and early 2000s.
He said the State Duma elections were also significant because of constitutional changes that, according to him, give the lower house a greater role in forming the government.
The diplomat said the winning party or coalition would present a candidate for prime minister, whom the president would be required to appoint.
On the question of voting by the Russian citizens residing in Pakistan, the consul-general said the ambassador in Islamabad headed the election commission there while he [the consul-general] served as chairman of the local election commission at the Russian Consulate General in Karachi.
He said more than 150 people were expected to vote in Karachi, including Russian citizens married to Pakistanis and Pakistanis holding Russian citizenship.
On bilateral ties, he said Russia-Pakistan relations were “progressing very fast”, particularly at political and economic levels.
“We are discussing a lot of economic projects and our leaders are communicating very well and regularly meeting on the sidelines of many international summits,” he added.
Asked about a possible visit by President Putin to Pakistan, the Russian diplomat said Pakistani people were awaiting the Russian president but declined to provide a timeframe.
“I cannot tell because only he knows,” he said, adding that he would share information when it became available.
The State Duma elections are being held across Russia for the 9th convocation of the lower house of Parliament, with voting also taking place at Russian diplomatic missions abroad, including the Consulate General in Karachi.
According to the consul-general, more than 45 percent of voters had already cast their ballots at the time of the interview.
He said the election process would be followed by the formation of the new Duma, the election of its chairman and the process of selecting the prime minister.
