A SAUDI MEDIATION?
Saudi Arabia is hosting a meeting on Ukraine from Saturday, a new attempt to impose its international power, even if expectations remain limited as to the results of this umpteenth peace initiative.
The wealthy Gulf monarchy announced Friday evening the arrival of “security advisers from brotherly countries” to discuss the “Ukrainian crisis”, during this two-day meeting in Jeddah, on the Red Sea, without revealing the names of the States participating in it.
This meeting reflects, according to the official press agency SPA, the “availability of the kingdom to exercise a mission of good offices to contribute to finding a solution which will lead to a permanent peace”.
About 30 countries, without Russia, have been invited, according to diplomats informed of the preparations and who requested anonymity.
