Pakistan has put out "peace feelers" towards India.
Pakistan to India: Time to Bury the Past' for Regional Peace
ISLAMABAD - Pakistans military chief Thursday advocated a stable relationship with archrival India, saying unsettled disputes between the nuclear-armed South Asian neighbors are dragging the region back to the swamp of poverty and underdevelopment.
Gen. Qamar Javed Bajwa told a conference of experts and academics in Islamabad that their territorial dispute over Kashmir is at the heart of bilateral tensions and a lack of development in South Asia.
However, we feel that it is time to bury the past and move forward, Bajwa said. But for resumption of peace process, or meaningful dialogue, our neighbor will have to create a conducive environment, particularly in Indian-occupied Kashmir.

OP
I believe that the problem with Russia is that Putin has run it for more that two decades.
