When Pakistan came into existence in August 1947, Karachi was a city of roughly 435,000 people. Within months, its population changed dramatically. Hundreds of thousands of Muslim refugees arrived from India after Partition, seeking shelter, employment and security in the new country’s capital.

An effort is being made to transform the Greek Armed Forces into the strongest and most modern Armed Forces that Hellenism has ever had.

President Putin to Ukraine : You want to disrupt our logistics? We can address the same question to the enemy. Well then, retaliatory actions will not be long in coming. You’ll get them. At the same time, the actions of the Russian army are, of course, much more sensitive and much more destructive.
Putin: Strikes against civilian, effectively unprotected facilities — and, what is especially important, against civilians — cause economic damage to our country and lead to losses. The loss of every person is always a tragedy for the entire country. We know very well that the Nazis of the Second World War, and the neo-Nazis today, experienced — and, judging by everything, still experience — a particular satisfaction, even pleasure, in committing such crimes. And we see that these criminal a

Putin: The Kyiv authorities themselves let the genie out of the bottle. They began striking our civilian enterprises and publicly declared their goal of destroying the Russian economy. Well then, as I just said, receive the response.

Putin: The enemy is trying to frighten us and disrupt the elections. We will not allow it to do so. I am confident that this attempt at information and psychological influence on Russian society is also doomed to failure.

Zelensky to Putin: Putin hopes that we are tired. We know that he is mortal. He never understood us — and now he will not have time to. You wanted to take all of Ukraine, all of our land. Instead, you lost your oil refineries, your fleet, your revenues, and an entire generation that you sent into the meat grinder. You wanted us to disappear from the map. Now you are disappearing from the international agenda of the future civilization. For 27 years, the ruler of Russia has been talking ab
