He underscored the UAE’s policy in support of peace and stability on the regional and international arenas, and called for the need to continue serious consultations to resolve the Ukraine crisis through dialogue, negotiation and diplomacy to reach a political settlement in order to achieve global peace and security.

Sheikh Mohamed also briefed the Russian President on the Ukrainian side’s position on a number of issues.
