Leaders of Russia and the United Arab Emirates held a phone call, the Kremlin said on Monday.

According to the Kremlin, United Arab Emirates President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan was interested in hearing an assessment of the situation in Russia in connection with the Wagner group mutiny on June 24.

"Having received comprehensive information, the Emirati leader declared full support for the actions of the Russian leadership."

(This story has been corrected to change the title of Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan to 'United Arab Emirates president' instead of 'Abu Dhabi crown prince' in paragraph 2)
