  1. Why Gulf Arab states have not supported financial warfare against Russia as a response to the war in Ukraine.
  2. How Some GCC members’ relative neutrality in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has fueled tension between Gulf Arab governments and Washington.
  3. Why Gulf Arab countries might seek to further diversify their investments across the world because of the asset freezes and sanctions against Russian businesses.
