Russian Officials Condemn US-UK Strikes on Yemen, but Remain Silent on Houthi Attacks

In Moscow, Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation meets with Yemeni Houthi delegation

During a recent meeting with a delegation of Yemeni Houthis from the Ansar Allah movement in Moscow, Special Representative of the President of the Russian Federation for the Middle East and Africa, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Mikhail Bogdanov discussed the escalating situation in the Red Sea. The Russian Foreign Ministry stated that special attention was paid to the dynamics of the situation in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict zone as well as the aggravation of tensions in the Red Sea.

In this context, it was resolutely condemned that ongoing strikes on Yemen by the United States and Great Britain were violating the UN Charter. However, 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 Red Sea, as well as launch UAVs and cruise missiles towards Israel. A week ago, Bogdanov met with a delegation from Hamas in Moscow. The Russian authorities do not recognize this organization as terrorist.
