Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy arrived in Jeddah on Friday, marking his second visit to Saudi Arabia in a month.
The president held defense talks with Crown Prince Mohammed bin as part of a diplomatic offensive to bolster security cooperation. Kyiv is seeking to advertise its battle-tested technology in the Middle East amid the Iran war.
This visit follows the securing of an EU loan for Ukraine. Meanwhile, the Kremlin stated that Russian President Putin may or may not attend the G20 in Miami in December.
