Ukraine and Saudi Arabia concluded a defense cooperation agreement

Good and unusual news!

"Ukraine and Saudi Arabia concluded a defense cooperation agreement on March 27. The Ukrainian Presidential Office reported that Ukraine will help Saudi Arabia with air defenses under the agreement, which also outlines the foundations for further contacts and includes technological cooperation and investments.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed the agreement ahead of further talks with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman al Saud. Zelensky stated that such cooperation can be mutually beneficial as Saudi Arabia has "something that Ukraine is interested in." Zelensky and al Saud discussed possible energy cooperation.

Zelensky also met with Ukrainian military experts who have been supporting air defense operations in Saudi Arabia for over a week (since at least March 20) and discussed additional measures to support Saudi Arabia's air defense operations. ISW continues to assess that Ukraine can offer the United States and US allies in the Middle East unique insights into how to counter Iranian strikes, as the Ukrainian military has institutionalized and operationalized the fighting experience that Ukraine has learned throughout the past four years of war."

Saudi Arabia Quietly Lifts Its Alcohol Ban for some residents

Good news! In some countries progress is slower than in other countries! 😊

When will Saudi citizens claim discrimination and protest? Give me death or give me beer! Just kidding!

"Saudi Arabia is quietly permitting some residents to buy alcohol, breaking a longstanding taboo as the Islamic kingdom looks to expand its tourism sector, attract high-earning expatriates and modernize its conservative image.

Without making an announcement, the government in recent weeks has begun allowing non-Muslims with the premium residency status given to skilled or wealthy expatriates to buy beer, wine and spirits  ..."

Saudi Arabia carried out 347 executions in 2025, an annual record

Bad news! If this is not fake news, then it is very concerning!

Unfortunately, neither BBC nor Google provide any more corroboration for this story. Only Bing provided some (see e.g. second article below)

"Saudi Arabia has surpassed its record for the number of executions carried out annually for a second year in a row.

At least 347 people have now been put to death this year, up from a total of 345 in 2024, according to the UK-based campaign group Reprieve, which tracks executions in Saudi Arabia and has clients on death row. ...

The latest prisoners to be executed were two Pakistani nationals convicted of drug-related offences. ...

Five were women. ...

But, according to Reprieve, most - around two thirds - were convicted of non-lethal drug-related offences ..."

"The toll marks the second-straight year Saudi Arabia has broken its own record since rights groups first began documenting the number of executions in the 1990s.

It executed 338 people in 2024.

A statement by the interior ministry carried by the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA) said three individuals were executed in the Mecca region for murder convictions.

Since the start of 2025, Saudi Arabia has executed 232 people in drug-related cases, constituting the majority of the 340 executions carried out so far, according to AFP’s tally, based on ministry and SPA announcements.

Analysts largely link the surge in executions to the kingdom’s ongoing “war on drugs” launched in 2023, with many of those first arrested only now being executed, following legal proceedings and convictions.

Saudi Arabia resumed executions for drug offences at the end of 2022, after suspending the use of the death penalty in narcotics cases for around three years.

The Arab world’s largest economy is also one of the biggest markets for captagon, an illicit stimulant that was Syria’s largest export under Bashar al-Assad -- according to the United Nations. ..."

Saudi Crown Prince to Donald Trump: Saudi wants to be part of Abraham Accords

Good news! Closer to peace in the Middle East! Blessed are the peacemakers! This was duly noted by e.g. the Jerusalem Post.

The Crown Prince MBS (age 40) is risking a lot if not his life!

Let's hope something will be worked out to finally secure peace in the Middle East while President Trump is still in office. The signs are positive and better than in several decades for a solution.

"Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) said he wants his country to be part of the Abraham Accords, but also make sure to secure a path to a two-state solution," during his meeting with US President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday. ..."

Good news! If my memory serves me well, then in the past the latest and greatest US weapons were not sold to Arab countries to protect Israel and its military advantage.

"President Donald Trump said Monday he will sell F-35 advanced fighter jets to Saudi Arabia on the eve of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s Washington visit, as he praised the kingdom for its long partnership with the United States. ...

Another long-standing concern, which also derailed a potential similar sale to the United Arab Emirates, is that the F-35 technology could be stolen by or somehow transferred to China, which has close ties to both the UAE and Saudi Arabia. ..."
