The Russian leader also noted that Moscow has traditionally friendly relations with the Islamic world<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong> Russian President Vladimir Putin has emphasized Israel\u2019s large Russian-speaking population as one of the key factors in Moscow\u2019s approach to the ongoing Middle East conflict\u00a0\u2013\u00a0alongside Russia\u2019s own Muslim population and traditionally friendly relations with the Islamic world.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the plenary session of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) on Thursday,\u00a0Putin said those who question Russia\u2019s commitment to its partners are \u201cprovocateurs\u201d<\/em> attempting to stir discord.\u00a0The Russian leader underscored the complexity of the Iran-Israel conflict, cautioning against one-size-fits-all expectations of alliances.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery conflict is unique,\u201d<\/em> he said, outning Russia’s\u00a0nuanced relationships across the region.<\/p>\n

Putin highlighted the presence of nearly two million Russian-speaking residents in Israel.\u00a0\u201cIt is almost a Russian-speaking country today. And, undoubtedly, we always take this into account in Russia\u2019s contemporary history,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n

At the same time, he emphasized Russia\u2019s \u201cfriendly, trusting, and allied\u201d<\/em> relations with the Arab and Islamic world, which include 15% of Russia\u2019s own population and participation as an observer in the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.<\/p>\n

The Russian president reiterated his country\u2019s support for Iran\u2019s right to a peaceful nuclear program\u00a0\u2013\u00a0stressing that this support is not merely rhetorical, but demonstrated through concrete cooperation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe defend Iran\u2019s right to peaceful nuclear energy not just in words, but in action,\u201d<\/em> he said. \u201cDespite all the complexity of the situation around Iran, we built a nuclear reactor in Bushehr… And despite all the challenges and certain risks, we continue this work.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Putin dismissed criticism that Russia should have done more to support Iran. \u201cStart some kind of combat operations, is that it?\u201d<\/em> he asked rhetorically. \u201cWe already have combat operations going on against those whom we consider opponents of the ideas we defend and who pose a threat to the Russian Federation,\u201d<\/em> he added, noting that these opponents are \u201cfar behind the frontline\u201d<\/em> and are \u201cbasically the same forces \u2013 with Iran and in the case of Russia.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

According to the Kremlin, Putin has a \u201ccomplete picture\u201d<\/em> of the situation, as one of the few leaders to speak directly with the heads of Israel, Iran, and the United States since the conflict flared up last week. In a late-night Q&A session on Wednesday, Putin told journalists that Moscow had proposed several compromise frameworks to all parties, suggesting that any potential settlement should include mutual security guarantees \u2013 protecting both Iran\u2019s right to peaceful nuclear technology and Israel\u2019s right to security.<\/p>\n

While reaffirming support for Iran\u2019s legitimate interests, Putin clarified on Friday that Russia is not seeking to act as a mediator in the Iran-Israel conflict.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are simply offering ideas. Should these proposals resonate with both nations, we would be pleased,\u201d<\/em> he said, adding that he sees potential \u201cpoints of contact\u201d<\/em> between Tehran and West Jerusalem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
