🔻Why doesn’t Russia show its hand in the war in Yemen?

Russian officials, media outlets, and bloggers rarely cover developments in Yemen—especially at a time when the country’s civil war and its international repercussions have intensified sharply in the months of September and October 2026.

This is despite the fact that Yemen is strategically very important. Russia has long-standing historical relations with southern Yemen, which was once a partner of the Soviet Union, and Iran, Moscow’s ally, also plays an important role in the current developments in this country.
