JAKARTA - World leaders reacted immediately as soon as Russian troops began launching attacks on various cities in Ukraine. They are busy criticizing President Vladimir Putin.

Those who were criticized didn't budge. And Putin is sticking with his entire presidential schedule. One of them is by accepting the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan, quoted from The Guardian, Friday, February 25.

Imran Khan means being the first leader on the planet to come to see Putin when Russian troops are pounding Ukraine.

How could that be? Khan arrived in Moscow two days ago.

There is nothing on Khan's agenda to talk about Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Khan had been scheduled for several weeks to come to see Putin.

The agenda only focuses on bilateral relations. However, Khan's plans to meet the media after the meeting had to be canceled.

The world considers Khan's visit - even though it has been scheduled long ago - to be inappropriate. The world also regards Imran Khan as consistently signaling his scorn to the US and the West while also seeking economic aid.
