Additionally, he will welcome Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi to Moscow later in the week, according to Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov. The discussions during Putin’s visits on Wednesday will revolve around bilateral ties, the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, and various global matters. Peskov highlighted that the dialogue will also encompass issues related to oil pricing under the OPEC+ framework. Yuri Ushakov, Putin’s foreign affairs advisor, initially disclosed the visit on Monday without specifying the date, as reported by the Russian news agency Life. Ushakov expressed optimism about the potential impact of these talks. This diplomatic move comes at a time when Russia is eager to strengthen its influence in Middle Eastern politics. The Kremlin has confirmed that after these visits, Putin will host the Iranian President in Moscow on Thursday. Putin’s recent international engagements included a visit to China in October and several trips to nations that were part of the former Soviet Union. In March, the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Putin, accusing him of war crimes related to the alleged forced transfer of children from Ukraine. Since the issuance of this warrant, Putin has avoided attending the BRICS summit in South Africa, a country bound by the ICC’s treaty to execute such warrants. However, neither Saudi Arabia nor the UAE are signatories to the ICC’s founding treaty. This arrest warrant marks the first occasion the ICC has targeted a leader from one of the permanent members of the U.N. Security Council. The ICC’s statement specifies accusations against Putin for the “unlawful deportation” of children from occupied Ukrainian territories to Russia.

Reply SandraK December 5, 2023 - 7:46 pm Its interesting to see Russia engaging with both Saudi Arabia and Iran, wondering how this will play out in the long run?? Reply HistoryBuff December 5, 2023 - 8:37 pm Putin’s visit to China and now this? Russia’s really trying to expand its influence, not just in its old soviet bloc. Reply GeoPoliticsFan December 6, 2023 - 12:58 am the ICC warrant is a big deal, no surprise he’s avoiding countries that could arrest him. These trips are carefully planned, I guess.
