    Ukraine and Saudi Arabia , finally , signed much awaited and pursuid by President Zelensky, the defence agreement between the ministries of defense of Ukraine and Saudi Arabia on defense cooperation.

    Mr. Zelensky arrived Riyadh this morning and met with Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia Muhammad bin Salman Al-Saud. After the meeting, the relevant document was signed.

    It lays the groundwork for further contracts, technological cooperation and investments and reinforces Ukraine’s international role as a security donor.

    Zelensky shared on his social media page , “We’re ready to share our expertise and system with Saudi Arabia and collaborate to strengthen protection of lives. For the fifth year, Ukrainians have been fighting against the same terrorist attacks with ballistics and drones, which the Iranian regime is now inflicting in the Middle East and the Gulf region.”

    He said, Saudi Arabia has what Ukraine is interested in. This cooperation can be mutually beneficial. He did not mentioned what Saudia has that is important for Ukraine. But certainly it is about money and oil.

    the sides discussed also the situation in the Middle East and in the Gulf region in general, assistance to the Iranian regime from Russia, the situation in fuel markets and possible energy cooperation.

    Editor Mr. Tazeen Akhtar sharing his opinion on this development said, Ukraine itself fighting against a powerful neighbor and seeking help from Europe and USA. Zelensky has been found many times complaining about the lack of support in fight with Russia. He is supposed to focus on his own security and defence challenges at his own borders rather pose as a power player in the world.

    He said, Zelensky is risking the defence of his own country to take revenge from Iran for her defence alliance with Russia but ignoring the Chinese factor in Middle East that one only changes the dynamics altogther. How zelensky can balance it with his already engaged defence machinery at its eastern borders and inside Donbas?

    Tazeen Akhtar exposing the hypocricy of Saudia criticized the double policy of showing them neutral between US Israel Iran and signing defence agreements against Iran. He said, the agreement will further increase the gaps between two main countries of the Gulf that will add to already ongoing escalations.
