Russian President Putin visits Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E. to strengthen relationships, focusing on global oil markets, the conflict between Israel and Hamas, and the war in Ukraine. The visits aim to drive a wedge between the Gulf powers and the U.S. and signal to the West that Russia is still influential in the region despite sanctions. The discussions involve discussions on oil policy, trade, and investment, as well as potential military support.
