Good to see UAE maintaining ties with Russia despite Western pressure. Multilateral diplomacy is the way forward for global peace. 🙏
While Gulf nations cosy up to Russia, India faces heat on multiple fronts. The world is complicated, but de-escalation is what we all need.
UAE is playing smart politics - keeping both US and Russia happy. Meanwhile, we're stuck in the middle. Need to strengthen our own diplomatic outreach.
❤️ UAE-Russia friendship! Hope this brings stability in West Asia. India also needs to talk to both sides for energy security and diaspora welfare.
Why are we even discussing UAE-Russia calls? India should focus on its own border issues and trade. Let them manage their bilateral affairs.
Russia is a crucial partner for India, and seeing UAE engage with them is positive. We must deepen our Russia ties without antagonising the West. Balance is key. 🤝
