The United Arab Emirates is described as a key mediator in humanitarian exchanges between Russia and Ukraine, facilitating prisoner swaps in June 2025. The country hosts a significant number of Russian businesses, with over 13,500 registered Russian companies by the end of the previous year, and serves as a destination for Russian investments and real estate activity. It is also involved in international discussions regarding potential sanctions on Russian entities and has been mentioned in relation to Iran's frozen assets, though UAE officials have denied any such actions.
