The United States believes that the UAE and Turkiye's economic and financial ties with Russia are hindering Moscow's efforts to prevent aggression against Ukraine.

Axar.az reports that Brian Nelson, adviser on terrorism and financial intelligence of the US Ministry of Finance, spoke about this in a meeting with Turkish officials.

US officials called on Turkiye to limit the flow of goods to Russia.

Officials have warned their Turkish counterparts that tens of millions of dollars worth of export-controlled goods are entering Russia and could be used by the defense industry to continue the war in Ukraine.
