Russia will keep a close eye on the situation in Yemen, which is fraught with a major escalation, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said.

“Let us wait and see how the situation develops. Now, it is seriously destabilized and is fraught with a major escalation. The most important thing now is to stabilize the situation,” he said when asked by TASS whether Moscow plans to review its stance on which Yemeni government is to be considered legitimate.
