The United Arab Emirates has refused to take sides between Western allies and Russia.

“As long as the state, our owner, requires us to fly there, we will continue,” Clark told the World Government Summit.

“We carry humanitarian goods in our holds. We’ve got NGOs traveling in and out of Russia. We’ve got the diplomatic community going in and out of Russia…so all we’re doing is being an enabler, facilitator, without taking a political position on this for the time being.” He later told reporters on the sidelines of the event that Emirates does not allow any sanctioned goods on its airplanes.

When asked about sanctioned individuals, he said: “I’m not in a position to say who or what about sanctioned individuals. [They] are sanctioned by the West, they may not be sanctioned here.”
