The senior lecturer in the Department of Political Science of the Higher School of Russian Economics, Grigory Lukyanov, emphasized the continuation of "necessary contacts" between the STC and Moscow.
Lukyanov said that the most important thing is that Moscow has established the necessary contacts with the Transitional Council, and that it continues to this day, recalling that “after the first visit of the Transitional Council to Moscow, its representatives announced the opening of an official representative office and an embassy here, but contacts are taking place not only through it. , But also through specific individuals and through various audiences, ”affirming that the transitional“ uses these relationships to strengthen its position, ”stressing that“ receiving the delegation in Moscow will enhance the council’s reputation. ”
The Russian expert’s analysis came within an article by Igor Sobotin, a Russian journalist specializing in international affairs in the Nezavisimaya Gazeta newspaper entitled: “Southern Yemen seeks political capital in Moscow.”
In an analysis of the Russian "Nezavisimaya Gazeta", the Russian analyst says: "Foreign policy capital is not superfluous," confirming the growth of "Russia's role in the Middle East over the past five years." He said: "Despite some stagnation, Moscow's power is sufficient To make it a must-visit point for any politician on the eve of important operations, especially in countries such as Yemen or Libya, ”calling for the continuation of the“ political struggle ”.
The Russian expert indicated that the transitional council had previously visited Moscow and London, demonstrating its balanced policy with multiple international parties.
Igor Sobotin stated, in his article, that the Riyadh Agreement "not only recognizes the formation of a government, in which positions are distributed between the southern and northern governorates, but also decides to merge the armed forces and security services, and to devote themselves to the Houthi wars."
