Saudi Arabia has maintained a good standing relationship with both Russia and Ukraine over the years. In 2007, King Abdullah met with President Putin and Saudi Arabia established an embassy in Moscow. In 2003, President Kuchma of Ukraine visited Saudi Arabia, then in 2015 President Poroshenko participated in King Abdullah’s funeral. Ukraine also has an embassy in Riyadh. As allies of both nations, we cannot interfere or show bias to either country. We cannot take military action give aid to either country. We refuse to support any acts to give military or humanitarian aid to either country in an effort to maintain a good standing relationship with both countries. We do want the wars to stop and as such we are happy to help reach a resolution between the countries or broker a deal. We will also sit in on a discussion between the two countries and support any peaceful solutions to the problems between the two countries. All in all, we want the wars to stop and will do what it takes to stop them in a peaceful manner, but we are not willing to take a stance against any country in particular in an effort to keep relations good.
