At the St. Petersburg forum on June 20, 2025, Putin said Moscow won't back Iran militarily because nearly two million people from the former Soviet Union live in Israel, making it almost a Russian-speaking country.

This reflects Russia's balancing act—partnering with Iran on arms but prioritizing diaspora ties and avoiding direct involvement, as seen in ongoing trade with Israel and Syria coordination.

Key Takeaway

In a resurfaced 2025 video, Putin calmly explains Russia's hands-off approach to Iran-Israel tensions, pointing to Israel's huge Russian-speaking population as a key factor.

On February 28, 2026, U.S.-Israeli strikes killed Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, its defense minister, and many others, with Iran retaliating via missile attacks that claimed U.S. and Israeli lives.

The UK refused U.S. forces access to its bases during joint strikes on Iran, prompting sharp U.S. criticism and a revival of Trump's Greenland ambitions amid rising transatlantic tensions.

The U.S. has set June as the target for Ukraine and Russia to agree on peace, Zelenskyy announced after UAE-hosted talks in Abu Dhabi that delivered a swap of 314 prisoners—the first in five months—and restarted U.S.-Russia military dialogues.
