"Contrasting Receptions: Putin's Welcome in Saudi Arabia vs. NATO Leader's"
Russian President Vladimir Putin received a warm welcome during his state visit to the United Arab Emirates, in stark contrast to the reception German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier received during his recent visit to Qatar. Despite facing international isolation due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Putin was greeted with red-carpet treatment, including jets painting the colors of the Russian flag in the sky and a convoy accompanied by cavalry. The visit aimed to bolster bilateral cooperation and discuss issues such as oil and the war between Israel and Hamas. Social media users expressed anger at the warm reception given to Putin, with some calling him an indicted war criminal.
