Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, Leonid Slutsky, commenting on the decision of several countries to cut off diplomatic relations with Qatar, said that the current situation does not contribute to stabilization in the region. At the same time, he pointed out that this should not affect the fight against international terrorism.
"Slightest spark in the Middle East and the Persian Gulf zone can cause an explosion," he said. "Everything requires detailed study in terms of possible consequences," he noted.
