The Special Representative of the President of the Russian Federation for the Middle East and Africa, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Mikhail Bogdanov met in Moscow with a delegation of Yemeni Houthis from the Ansar Allah movement, headed by its official representative Muhammad Abdel Salam. During the meeting, the “escalation of the situation in the Red Sea” was discussed, TASS reports, citing the Russian Foreign Ministry.
Special attention was paid to the dynamics of the situation in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict zone, as well as the aggravation of the situation in the Red Sea. In this context, the ongoing strikes on Yemen by the United States and Great Britain in violation of the UN Charter were resolutely condemned,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
It should be noted that Moscow does not condemn the actions of Yemeni Houthi terrorists, who attack civilian ships in the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea, and also launch UAVs and cruise missiles towards Israel. A week ago, Bogdanov received a delegation from Hamas in Moscow. The Russian authorities also do not recognize this organization as terrorist.
