President of the United Arab Emirates Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al-Nahyan today met the Russian President Vladimir Putin and he suggested Russia-Ukraine dialogues to end war.
The UAE president called for dialogue, negotiation and diplomacy among all parties to end the war in Ukraine.
The UAE President visited Russia for talks in St. Petersburg with President Vladimir Putin. He said his country sought to contribute to strengthening the foundations of peace and stability in the world.
“We discussed several issues of mutual concern, including the Ukraine crisis, and the importance of engaging in dialogue to reduce tensions and arrive at a diplomatic solution,” Sheikh Mohammed said.
Anwar Gargash, diplomatic adviser to the president, said Sheikh Mohammed’s visit had been scheduled within the general framework of bilateral relations, but that the war in Ukraine required an urgent solution.
The two leaders also discussed regional and international issues, including OPEC+ decision led by Saudi Arabia and Russia to cut output by 2 million barrels a day from November.
The decision had been criticized by US President Joe Biden and other American politicians, but Putin denied on Tuesday that the alliance was acting against anyone else’s interests.
Meanwhile, Turkiye also called for a ceasefire in Ukraine ahead of a meeting between Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Astana, Kazakhstan. Erdogan has a good working relationship with the Russian leader, despite disagreements on issues such as Syria, and also has good ties with Kyiv.
