Saudi Arabia will send $ 400 million in aid to Ukraine.
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman explained this after speaking on the phone with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky . The prince stressed " the kingdom's position to support everything that will contribute to the reduction of the escalation and the willingness to continue mediation efforts".
Last month, in fact, Ryad had played an unexpected mediating role that led to the exchange of prisoners between Moscow and Kiev.
However, the war in Ukraine has fueled tensions between Saudi Arabia and the United States, with the kingdom refusing to increase oil production as Washington wanted to alleviate the energy crisis resulting from the conflict.
In the last few hours, on the war territories, the Ukrainian army shot down five kamikaze drones in the Dnipropetrovsk region . Three other drones were shot down in the Kryvyi Rih district and two in the Nikopol district. Last night the Russians attacked Zaporizhzhia with kamikaze drones, causing damage to infrastructure.
