Russian President Vladimir Putin yesterday called for intensifying political and diplomatic efforts to end the Middle East war during a phone call with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
“Both sides emphasised the need for a rapid cessation of hostilities and the intensification of political and diplomatic efforts to achieve a long-term settlement of the conflict,” the Kremlin said in a readout of the call.
Putin and Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler also discussed “problems with energy production and transportation resulting from the crisis are negatively impacting global energy security.”
They stressed “the importance of joint work underway with Russia and Saudi Arabia in the “OPEC+” format to stabilise the global oil market.”
