ABU DHABI (Reuters) - German Economy Minister Robert Habeck, visiting Gulf states to discuss long-term energy supplies, said on Monday they should not profit from global sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.

"I'm not asking that they join the sanctions....but I ask not to be a profiteer of European and U.S. sanctions," Habeck told reporters in the United Arab Emirates' capital Abu Dhabi following a visit to Qatar.
