Western officials plan to warn UAE over trade with Russia -WSJ | Reuters

U.S., British and European Union officials are planning to jointly press the United Arab Emirates this week to halt shipments of goods to Russia that could help Moscow in its war against Ukraine, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday citing U.S. and European officials.

A UAE official, in response to Reuters' request for comment, said the country "strictly abides by UN sanctions and has clear and robust processes in place to deal with sanctioned entities."

The UAE "is continuously monitoring the export of dual-use products," which have both civilian and military applications, under its export control legal framework, the official added.

Officials from Washington and European capitals were visiting the UAE from Monday as part of a collective global push to keep computer chips, electronic components and other so-called dual-use products out of Russian hands, the WSJ report said.
