The Chairman of Yemen\u2019s Presidential Leadership Council, Rashad Muhammad Al-Alimi, visited russia, where he met with vladimir putin. This took place amid kremlin\u2019s growing ties with the main enemies of Yemen\u2019s government \u2014 the Ansar Allah group (Houthis).<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0f russia may have recruited Yemenis to fight in the war against Ukraine in cooperation with the Houthis, and according to several Western media outlets, moscow has considered selling weapons to Ansar Allah. Previously, the Center identified russian Arabic-language accounts expressing support for Houthi actions.<\/p>\n
For moscow, this meeting may primarily serve as a public relations effort aimed at persuading Gulf monarchies \u2014 which have a history of conflict with the Houthis \u2014 of russia\u2019s supposed neutrality. A deepened relationship with Ansar Allah could strain russia\u2019s ties with Saudi Arabia and the UAE, so kremlin may be trying to present itself as a neutral mediator.<\/p>\n
However, despite its official rhetoric about promoting stability, kremlin primarily prioritizes its own interests in its hybrid war against Western influence. This often undermines not only the potential for political settlement in Yemen but also the broader stability of the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
