Ukraine crisis poses dilemma for wealthy Gulf
08:55am, Saturday, 26'th Feb 2022 Economic Times India
Choosing sides in Ukraine''s crisis would have once been easy for Gulf states long protected by the US, but growing ties with Moscow are forcing them to strike a balance. As the world rushed to condemn the Russian invasion of its smaller neighbour, the wealthy Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), have largely kept quiet. Middle East experts say their reticence is understandable given what''s at play -- energy, money and security. "It is not only the economic ties that are growing, but also the security ties of these states with Moscow," said Anne Gadel, a Gulf expert and contributor to the French think-tank Institut Montaigne. On Friday, the UAE abstained along with China and India from a vote at the US Security Council demanding Moscow withdraw its troops. Russia as expected vetoed the resolution co-written by the US and Albania while 11 of the council''s 15 members voted for it. After the vote, Emirati state new agency WAM said the UAE and US foreign ministers spoke by phone to review "global developments".

Moody’s puts Russia on junk rating warning, Fitch slashes Ukraine
03:13am, Saturday, 26'th Feb 2022 The Sun Daily
Russia''s invasion of Ukraine triggered a burst of credit rating moves on Friday, with Moody''s putting Russia on review for a downgrade to ''junk'' status and Fitch swiftly cutting Ukraine on worries it may now default. Both countries'' financial markets have unsurprisingly been thrown into turmoil by the events this week, which mark the biggest military attack in Europe since World War Two and have seen Moscow hit with stiff Western sanctions. Russia currently has an “investment grade” rating of Baa3 with Moody’s and an equivalent BBB- at S&P Global and Fitch, due to one of the lowest debt levels in the world at just 20% of its GDP, and nearly $650 billion of currency reserves. A downgrade, however, would lower that rating to the riskier “junk” or sub-investment grade category. “The decision to place the ratings on review for downgrade reflects the negative credit implications for Russia’s credit profile from the additional and more severe sanctions being imposed,“ Moody’s said in a statement.
