Putin Gets 21-Gun Salute In UAE Grand Welcome, Discusses Oil And “Hot Spots“ Gaza And Ukraine

Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived in the United Arab Emirates on December 6, as Dubai hosts the United Nations’ COP28 climate talks. The Russian leader landed in Abu Dhabi hoping to shore up support in the Middle East from two major oil producers allied to the US as his war on Ukraine grinds on. The trip to the Middle East marks Putin’s first visit to the region since before the COVID-19 pandemic and the war. This is also only the Russian leader’s third trip outside the former Soviet Union since he ordered the invasion of Ukraine, after visits to Iran and China. #vladimirputin #abudhabi #putinmiddleeastvisit 00:00 - INTRODUCTION 01:02 - OIL & WAR ON PUTIN’S MIDDLE EAST TRIP AGENDA 02:53 - UAE’S GRAND WELCOME FOR PUTIN Footage Courtesy: Reuters/ÁP/AFP n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
