President Vladimir Putin was escorted to the Middle East by four Russian fighter jets on Wednesday for a rare trip abroad, during which he will discuss oil, Gaza and Ukraine with Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
The Russian delegation includes top oil, economy, foreign affairs, space and nuclear energy officials.
Putin said Russia and the UAE cooperated as part of OPEC+, whose members pump more than 40% of the world's oil, adding that they would discuss the Israeli-Hamas conflict and Ukraine.
After the UAE, Putin is due to travel to Saudi Arabia for his first face-to-face meeting with MbS since October 2019. His last visit to the region was in July 2022, when he met Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Iran.

You just have to watch how Putin was greeted in the UAE and Saudi Arabia on his current Middle East visit to understand that the petrodollar is history and that the multipolar order is taking over. The Pentagon media calls Putin “Internationally isolated”.
@PragmaticCowRepublican6mos6MO
The UAE and Saudi: our “mates.”
They are two-faced administrations and, rather than pandering to their oil-wealth we should be building our own and shifting our dependence away from them as a strategic priority. Without the West’s money they are just Bedouin tribesmen again.

Absolutely disgraceful. The UAE has rolled out the red carpet for indicted war criminal Vladimir Putin.

The news topic should be objective.
