Arab capitals received news of the fighting on the Ukrainian-Russian front with a lot of anxiety and embarrassment at the same time, as most of the Arab countries are linked to Moscow and Kiev. The embarrassment was due to the inability to take a unified position, considering that the Russian intervention - from the Western point of view - and its crossing of borders makes what happened tantamount to an invasion. External to a neighboring independent country, while the Russians on the other side see that they are preserving their territorial borders and carrying out a pre-emptive operation before NATO forces become on their borders. It is important to study and analyze the Arab position on the Russian-Ukrainian war, which has largely maintained a degree of neutrality and balance and used the energy card - especially the Gulf states, most notably the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia - to highlight the importance of the Arab role in this current and ongoing conflict, which carries with it risks amounting to threatening the use of nuclear weapons.
