The newspaper pointed out that what Russia did during the war on Yemen, for the past four years, confirms that Russia will reopen its embassy in Aden. Russia will reopen the Saudi Telecom Company, which controls most of Aden and many southern regions. This way Moscow has established full relations with STC, which gradually takes the role of the “third force” in Aden because of the support of the UAE.
