Putin arrived in the UAE

Russian President Vladimir Putin has made his third foreign visit since his troops invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022. Now recognized by the International Criminal Court as a war criminal, he visited the United Arab Emirates, with Flight 1 being escorted to the airport in Abu Dhabi by four Su-35S.

This was reported by the Kremlin. The dictator's arrival was a real celebration in the Middle Eastern state, and Putin was greeted like a sheikh.

During this trip, the Russian leader is scheduled to meet with President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Then Putin will meet with Crown Prince Mohammed.

The central streets of Abu Dhabi were adorned with the flags of the two countries. As the motorcade carrying Putin approached the presidential castle, the UAE Air Force painted three bright stripes representing the Russian flag in the sky.

It should be noted that the United Arab Emirates does not recognize the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court. This implies that Putin can stay in the country without fear of prosecution or arrest for crimes committed in Ukraine.

As OBOZ.UA reported, Putin's first foreign trip after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine was to Turkmenistan. It happened in June 2022, and before that, the Russian dictator was afraid of being detained outside Russia.

His next visit abroad after the ICC arrest warrant was issued was to China. In Beijing, political leaders discussed the prospects for mutual cooperation and even the possibility of China's arms support for Russia.
