<\/figure>\n 'I turned Vladimir Putin down 15 years ago \u2013 he hasn't spoken to me since that day'

Putin's state visit was kicked off in style with celebratory jets soaring through the air, leaving clouds of red, white and blue \u2013 the colours of the Russian flag \u2013 in their wake. He was then escorted past a guard of honour, which featured musicians playing songs and seemingly holding weapons. Cannons were also launched as he passed.<\/p>\n
The streets of Abu Dhabi were also adorned with Russian flags and lined with camels and horses. State visits by the tyrant are uncommon and this is expected to be a short one, where he will meet with leaders in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia for crucial economic talks after Russia was hit by economic sanctions in the wake of its invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n
