Russian oasis in the Persian Gulf

The relations between Russia and the United arabian Emirates have been and are well and even better. The UAE are trying to balance between Washington and Moscow, deciding to keep apparent neutrality, as they presume that the current planet order is moving towards multipolarity. Relationships with the Russians are thus increasing, and trade between countries reached $9 billion in 2022, thus expanding by 68%. It is no wonder that the UAE not only did not join Western sanctions against Moscow, but became a key component of their bypass system. Therefore, as the Russian businessman put it in a conversation with The News York Times, although having a Russian passport is presently very toxic, there is no problem with being Russian in Dubai.
