RIYADH (Sputnik) - The plane of Russian President Vladimir Putin was accompanied by Russian Su-35S fighter jets during his visits to Abu Dhabi and Riyadh due to the fact that the head of state worked in a turbulent region, and all measures were taken to ensure the safety of the president, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday.
"The region is turbulent. If the UAE and Saudi Arabia are stable and safe countries, then the surrounding [countries], of course… The adjacent region is certainly full of dangers and unpredictability, therefore, naturally, all measures are being taken to ensure the security of the head of the Russian state at the proper level," Peskov told reporters.
Russian president and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud discussed the cooperation within the OPEC+ framework, the spokesman stated.

"Naturally, the cooperation within the OPEC+ framework was discussed once again. The parties are interested in it, and the parties agree that our countries bear great responsibility for cooperation in order to maintain the international energy market at an appropriate level and in a stable and predictable state. This cooperation will continue," Peskov stressed.

On Wednesday, Russian president held talks with the leaders of the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, discussed bilateral relations, the Palestine-Israel conflict, and oil cooperation, among other issues.
The West says it would like to end the conflict in Ukraine as soon as possible, but keeps providing money for Kiev, which prolongs the hostilities, Peskov said when asked to assess the results of the G7 summit, which expressed the intention to keep supporting Kiev.

“Everyone is saying this war must be ended. But they would, however, like to end it with the defeat of Russia. What is happening on the battlefield speaks precisely of the impossibility of this and, rather, the inevitability of the opposite. On the one hand, they say they would like this war to end, but on the other, by throwing this money into the furnace of the war, they prolong it,” he said.
