FATF has declined to confirm the outcome.
However even if the tweet is true, Russia would not have been the road block. No country would jeopardize 50+ year friend and Strategic partner & leading economic power house for a cesspool like Pakistan. In the past paki media has cited unnamed sources alluded to Russia's support for Pakistan in couple of instances where it was inimical to India, those turned out to be false later denied strongly by Russian Government.
PATF has deferred taking a decision because 35 member countries
failed to arrive at a consensus. Remember
consensus means unanimous decision, meaning all 35 should agree. These members include
Turkey & Gulf economic council. Both's resistance is enough to defer the decision. Russia's role is just a googly by paki media.
