Western countries, led by the United States, are pushing the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to stop exporting a number of critical electronic components to Russia, since Moscow can use them in the creation of weapons systems. This is reported by the Financial Times, citing sources familiar with the negotiations.
Diplomats from the US, EU and UK have visited the UAE in recent weeks "to clarify the wide range of their trade restrictions and put pressure on UAE officials" to restrict exports to Russia, they said.
Sources say the US is concerned about Abu Dhabi's central role in supplying Moscow with critical goods such as electronic components. Of particular concern to Washington is re-exports, when Western goods are sent through the UAE to circumvent restrictions, FT interlocutors say.
According to the FT, Western allies, in addition to the demand to stop the EXPORT of electronic components, require disclosure of the list of goods that have already been delivered to Russia.

The United Arab Emirates did not impose sanctions against Moscow, but opposed the Russian-led special operation and urged the parties to return to the negotiating table. The UAE also provides financial and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine.
Earlier, BLOOMBERG wrote that the US authorities are putting pressure on Abu Dhabi because of trade with Russia. According to the agency, Washington has warned the UAE authorities that their maintenance of economic and financial ties with Russia interferes with the West's efforts to put pressure on Moscow.
