PRINCE MOHAMED BIN SALMAN AGREES 400 MILLION DOLLAR AID TO UKRAINE
After a meeting between Mohammed bin Salman and Volodymyr Zelensky, Riyadh on Saturday announced $400 million in humanitarian aid for kyiv.
Saudi Arabia announced $400 million in humanitarian aid for kyiv on Saturday (October 15th), and its Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman spoke on the phone to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the official SPA news agency reported. The prince stressed "the kingdom's position to support anything that will contribute to de-escalation, and the kingdom's willingness to continue mediation efforts," SPA said.
In September, Riyadh had played an unexpected role of mediator, resulting in an exchange of prisoners between Moscow and kyiv. The war in Ukraine, however, has fueled tensions between Saudi Arabia and the United States, with the kingdom refusing to increase oil production as Washington would have liked to alleviate the energy crisis resulting from the conflict.
