Saudi ambassador: Riyadh is ready to mediate in the war in Ukraine

According to Isna, the Saudi ambassador in Moscow told TASS: “Saudi Arabia is ready to be a mediator in the negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.”

In a situation where two and a half years have passed since the start of the war in Ukraine and developments on the ground are not in favor of Kiev, Russia has repeatedly announced its desire to start peace talks. However, it does not seem that Ukraine and the West, which supports it financially and with weapons, are very much in favor of dialogue.

In the early months of the war, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy declared it illegal to negotiate with the Russians by passing a law. However, it seems that with the time of the American elections approaching and the possibility of the re-election of former American President Donald Trump, the Westerners are making efforts to convince Kiev.

Abd al-Rahman bin Sulaiman Al-Ahmad, the ambassador of Saudi Arabia in Moscow, said: “By participating in the meetings of national security advisers, the Kingdom of Al Saud declares its support for all decisions that are made with the aim of reducing tension in Ukraine.”

The Saudi diplomat added: “Riyadh is ready to make mediation efforts to establish contact between all parties involved in the war in Ukraine.”

In the latest developments on the battlefield, Russia announced the heavy losses of Ukrainian forces in the Kursk region.

Russia’s success in recapturing its territories in Kursk and the advance of its forces on the eastern front of Ukraine is at a time when Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said in an interview on the sidelines of the BRICS meeting: “The victory plan proposed by Volodymyr Zelensky is in line with what is on the line It occurs in Moghadam and Kursk region, it doesn’t match.”

The situation on the battlefield is difficult for the Ukrainian forces, their situation is getting worse day by day with the advances of the Russian army, while the President of Ukraine presented a plan called “Victory Plan” in the hope of achieving an achievement on the battlefield, but the support of the Western countries for all Its clauses are in an aura of ambiguity and they say that they are currently consulting about this program.
