MOSCOW: Russian President Vladimir Putin and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman discussed the Middle East crisis and cooperation within OPEC+ in a phone call on Thursday, the Kremlin said.
“Serious concern was expressed regarding the deteriorating military and political situation in the region, civilian casualties, and the destruction of strategically important infrastructure,” it said in a statement.
The Kremlin said both sides stressed the need for an immediate cessation of hostilities and the intensification of diplomatic efforts towards a settlement of the conflict, which broke out on February 28 when Israel and the United States launched strikes on Iran.
