Vladimir Putin suffered a major blow to his image after the cancellation of the Russian-Arab summit, which was supposed to demonstrate Russia's influence in the Middle East. Only a few leaders confirmed their attendance, while global attention focused on the summit in Egypt, where Donald Trump gathered leaders to sign a peace agreement regarding Gaza. Russia's absence from this event highlighted the decline of its influence amid the war in Ukraine and international isolation.
Although the Kremlin hoped to bring together leaders from the Middle East to discuss security and energy cooperation, the summit was postponed due to a lack of interest. Analysts emphasize that Russia is no longer perceived as a major player in the region, and its relations with leaders in the Middle East have deteriorated. Additionally, Russia has lost the ability to support Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria and has been marginalized in the peace negotiations regarding Gaza.
The frustration of Russian officials is evident, and Moscow has stated that it will not refuse to participate in resolving the crisis in the Middle East, but it will not impose its services. Furthermore, Russia's influence is also diminishing in other regions, such as Central Asia and the Caucasus, where former satellite states are distancing themselves from Moscow. The Kremlin announced that the summit could be rescheduled for November, but this will not restore the major player role that Russia had in the past.
